Again Anthony the problem is not so much "vendors" as filmmakers. It just is not practical in many cases for them to set up a CC service for one or a few titles. There is a lot legal time consuming and monetary stuff involved.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
