It is my understanding that according to the copyright law, you’re not allowed to change the format of audiovisual materials without permission. The famous case of Berkeley vs. Ambrose Video was dismissed due to technicalities and Berkeley being a state institution. It was not dismissed based on copyright law. Am I wrong on this?

Mabee Library 4301 Broadway – CPO 297 San Antonio, TX 78209 (210) 829-3842 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Graham Sent: Monday, September 29, 2014 10:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Videolib] Libraries that stream their own titles For those libraries such as U of Arizona who will take a physical dvd from the collection and stream for a blackboard course- can you share your policies and in-house procedures? I noticed Arizona has placed faculty requests fom streaming behind a login screen- anyone else do this too? Do you use handbrake or vlc player to rip to mp4, etc.? Thanks for any/all suggestions/links/etc.!

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.
