Jodie, I have recently cataloged some titles from them and they seem to be legit. In general, I would stay away from any foreign titles (American, Japanese, etc.) that they may offer because Chinese copyright is much less restrictive that here in the US and that may cause issues.

Hi guys, I have a faculty member is who requesting about a dozen or so classic Chinese films from a supplier called Guangzhou Beauty Culture Communication (http://gbcccl.en.china.cn/ or http://en.gzbeauty.com/Index.html . I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with this supplier? I've been burned before with bootlegs so I just wanted to get your thoughts and opinions if you have worked with this supplier before. Thanks! Jodie ________________________________________ Jodie L.

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.
