Are you using sqlserver? Aren't there some substring functions? If the 01
and 03 indicate the media type and the number before the dash will match,
couldn't you do something like this pseudocode:

select left(id, 4) AS primaryID,  right(id, 2) AS mediatype,
othercolumnshere
from yourtable

<cfoutput query="yourquery" group="primaryid">
#name# <cfoutput><cfif mediattype is 1>DVD<cfelseif mediattype is
3>VHS</cfif></cfoutput>
