[Videolib] Reminder: Digital Preservation for Videotape Workshop

[Jeff Martin]

 

Independent Media Arts Preservation [IMAP]

presents a workshop on

 

DIGITAL PRESERVATION FOR VIDEOTAPE

 

Co-sponsored with New York Metropolitan Library Council [METRO]

 

Monday, June 6, 2011

10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

--

If content on analog videotape is to survive for the long term, the tapes must 
be digitized - moved from the unstable magnetic media on which the content is 
currently held, into the digital realm where - in theory - they can be 
preserved indefinitely and migrated forward as files rather than physical 
objects.  

 

Digitization, however, means more than simply selecting a destination file 
format.  It requires a series of decisions that will determine the long-term 
viability of files created - and thus of the valuable video content.  

 

Workshop topics include:  basic digital file creation, preservation and access 
file formats and codecs, software, storage and trusted digital repositories, 
workflows for digitization, and technical and preservation metadata. In 
addition, participants will examine case studies of small and large-scale 
digitization projects in order to understand real-world applications of 
principles introduced in the workshop.

Re: [Videolib] Donuts, anyone?

[Tatar, Becky]

We use the donuts - have since CDs came out.  We started using them on
our DVDs about 7 years ago.  I don't think we have had the situation you
describe, but we have had people try to remove them.  I tried once, and
it was tough.  I don't know how they do it.  They will often return a
wrong disc in the case, and claim we checked it out that way.  Of course
we didn't - the donut has the barcode AND the accession number on it!
The one problem we run into is when we clean the discs - the liquid
cleaner tends to bleed the written numbers and wear away the label.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [Videolib] Donuts, anyone?

I've had a DVD processing issue come up, and I'm curious what the custom
is among other libraries. Currently, we affix a small round "donut"
label to all of our DVDs, printed with the name of our library. We used
to hand-write our ownership information around the center of the disc,
but this became too labor-intensive, so we switched to the donuts.

Recently, a patron contacted us and informed us that these donut labels
had a tendency to peel off and cause mischief inside people's players.
This hadn't actually happened to her--it was anecdotal information she
was passing on, but she was concerned it would happen in the future.

No one has actually contacted us about any problems with these labels in
the six months or so we've been using them. What I'm wondering is:

1) How many of you use (or have used) similar "donut"-style labels on
your DVDs?
2) Approximately how long have you been using them?
3) Have you had any problems with them?

Any information will be very greatly appreciated--I don't want to
continue using labels that will damage anyone's machine, but I also
don't want to change our procedures unnecessarily, if this turns out to
be all smoke and no fire.

Thanks very much,

Re: [Videolib] another film outfit wanting to sell performance rights

[Susan Weber]

Now hold on, some of us, like us Canadians, need those  seven words. 
We've been paying those extra bucks since 16mm ceased to be commonly
used in the classroom. 
Seems to me that the wording of Zipporah comes from mixing Canadian and
US law. End-result
is angering all of you Americans, though they are helpful to the
Canucks. (who won over San Jose last night)

Dear Ms. Ruede,



Thank you for your order of Frederick Wiseman's film BALLET.  Since you
listed a school email address, I am writing to confirm whether you are
purchasing the film for home use.  If not, the purchase price of this film
for colleges and universities is our list educational price of $400, which
includes public performance rights so it can be screened in classrooms.



I look forward to hearing from you soon so we can process your order.



Thank you.

Re: [Videolib] another film outfit wanting to sell performance rights

[Meghann Matwichuk]

I have tried on a number of occasions to send correcting information re: 
Face-to-Face Teaching and 108, in a very simple, straightforward way, 
and have never noticed any effect or change in the misinformation being 
disseminated.  This makes me think that distributors either can't be 
bothered, or don't care and still feel entitled to a higher price from a 
library (which is, of course, always up for debate -- tiered pricing is 
another issue entirely, apples and oranges).  Clarity is important, 
though.  I don't get the warm fuzzies for the distributors who 
misrepresent what's 'required' to use their works.  At the end of the 
day, we will purchase what our instructors need -- but if I'm looking at 
ways to spend discretionary funds, I'll choose a distributor who's fair 
and knowledgeable when all else is equal.

This is true. My money is on the misunderstanding of copyright law. 
Someone could send them a copy of Section 108. Not sure how you would 
word it, but something like "We have decided to make our film 
available to individuals at a lower cost but we need to maintain a 
higher price to institutions to make back the money we spend making 
the film" Not waiting for that though.


I think films whose target market is institutions would be better off 
not making films available to individuals.
If the film is popular enough to get major sales on the home market go 
for it, but otherwise it just leads to confusion.


I am hoping that steaming rights make this obsolete. Public 
Performance rights are usually of limited value to institutions ( 
though some may want to show certain films on campus) but streaming 
rights are something I suspect universities will increasingly need so 
offering titles at higher price but including those rights might work 
for both sides providing the pricing is fair to both.

Re: [Videolib] Donuts, anyone?

[Kim Crowley]

We use donut labels as well and we checkout about 150,000 discs of one sort or 
another each year.  We have had about 4 instances over the last several years 
where a disc has gotten caught in a player.  And I think only one of those was 
in a DVD player; it has usually been in a multi-disc changer in a car (books on 
CD), which can get very hot.  However, the "donut" is the best system we have 
found so far for our purposes.  

By the way, we also clean our discs in a RTI cleaner which could over time add 
to the degredation of those labels.

Re: [Videolib] Georgia State (course reserves) update: potential fair use injunction sought by plaintiffs

[Jessica Rosner]

I think this is just gamesmanship, but have NO sympathy for Georgia State.
They grossly violated copyright putting entire texts online and refusing to
take them down until the lawyers finally came down on them. They knew
exactly what they were doing and encouraged their faculty to do this. I
can't imagine the publishers would get the injunction but I am sure they
want to go on record to show how outrageously Georgia State violated
copyright in the first place. The case may never really solve the issue
since Georgia State is hiding beyond "Sovereign Immunity" rather than
actually saying it is legal to put entire texts on line.

Re: [Videolib] Donuts, anyone?

[Brigid Duffy]

We use Sure Thing CD labels (small, clear hub labels) to reinforce the  
center hole on any DVD that shows signs of cracking, at least until we  
can get a replacement. Using them for about a year, no issues so far.

They are at http://www.labelgear.com

We have had a few full face labels overheat and peel away from the  
disc when the DVD was played in a computer, but nothing so far with  
the little ones.

[Videolib] Georgia State (course reserves) update: potential fair use injunction sought by plaintiffs

[Ravas, Tammy]

Greetings,

 

Duke University's Scholarly Communications Officer and copyright expert,
Kevin Smith, discusses  how the plaintiffs (publishers) wish to enjoin
Georgia State from exercising fair use rights and would limit all
copying activity to the 1976 Guidelines for Classroom Copying. This
injunction could happen if the judge decides this case in favor of the
publishers.

 

http://blogs.library.duke.edu/scholcomm/2011/05/13/a-nightmare-scenario-
for-higher-education/

 

Please feel free to forward this along to other related listservs.  I
don't think that this has been as widely disseminated as other updates
about this case.  

 

Thanks.

 

Best,

[Videolib] Donuts

[Hansen, Joy I]

HI,

 

We've been using the donuts some 6-7 years with no problems.  Lately,
we've started using the plastic adhesive covers with the built in
security strip over the front (therefore over the donut) and we continue
not to have a problem (with the adhesive covers) but if anyone has heard
anything negative about those, pass that on, too...

 

I'm oddly hungry thinking of DVD donuts.

Re: [Videolib] Donuts, anyone?

[Andrea D. Reed]

We use donuts from Gaylord. They come blank, 30 per sheet, a packaged
contains 3,000 labels, and we use our laser printer to print the library's
name on them. We've been using them on all our compact discs (CDs & DVDs)
for a year now, and have received no complaints about the labels peeling
off. I my opinion, they really seem to adhere well to the disc. Maybe other
brands of donut labels have issues?

Subject: [Videolib] Donuts, anyone?

I've had a DVD processing issue come up, and I'm curious what the custom is
among other libraries. Currently, we affix a small round "donut" label to
all of our DVDs, printed with the name of our library. We used to hand-write
our ownership information around the center of the disc, but this became too
labor-intensive, so we switched to the donuts.

Recently, a patron contacted us and informed us that these donut labels had
a tendency to peel off and cause mischief inside people's players. This
hadn't actually happened to her--it was anecdotal information she was
passing on, but she was concerned it would happen in the future.

No one has actually contacted us about any problems with these labels in the
six months or so we've been using them. What I'm wondering is:

1) How many of you use (or have used) similar "donut"-style labels on your
DVDs?
2) Approximately how long have you been using them?
3) Have you had any problems with them?

Any information will be very greatly appreciated--I don't want to continue
using labels that will damage anyone's machine, but I also don't want to
change our procedures unnecessarily, if this turns out to be all smoke and
no fire.

Re: [Videolib] Donuts, anyone?

[Jeanne O'Grady]

We have been using similar labels for years without the type of
problems you mention.  Occasionally we will have a DVD or CD that
someone has tried to peel off the label, but that usually does more
damage to the disc than to anyone's player.  We now have almost all of
our materials preprocessed and the labeling we get from our vendors
seems to be just as durable as labels we applied ourselves.

I can't cite the Three Stooges title(s) that contain the line, but when I'm 
asked a question of the "Do you know " variety, I'm always temtped to 
answer, "No, but if you hum the first few bars I'll fake it."

At least I think it was the Stooges... Bugs Bunny? Marx Brothers? Comedians in 
general going back to the beginning of time? I hear Curly's voice in my head, 
but that happens frequently and at various prompts.

Re: [Videolib] another film outfit wanting to sell performance rights

[Jessica Rosner]

This is true. My money is on the misunderstanding of copyright law. Someone
could send them a copy of Section 108. Not sure how you would word it, but
something like "We have decided to make our film available to individuals at
a lower cost but we need to maintain a higher price to institutions to make
back the money we spend making the film" Not waiting for that though.

I think films whose target market is institutions would be better off not
making films available to individuals.
If the film is popular enough to get major sales on the home market go for
it, but otherwise it just leads to confusion.

I am hoping that steaming rights make this obsolete. Public Performance
rights are usually of limited value to institutions ( though some may want
to show certain films on campus) but streaming rights are something I
suspect universities will increasingly need so offering titles at higher
price but including those rights might work for both sides providing the
pricing is fair to both.

Re: [Videolib] another film outfit wanting to sell performance rights

[Meghann Matwichuk]

But, they're still propagating misinformation:  "[T]he purchase price of 
this film for colleges and universities is our list educational price of 
$400, which includes public performance rights /so it can be screened in 
classrooms/."  It's either done with a very incomplete understanding of 
the laws that affect their business, or it's intentional misdirection.  
Either way it drives me batty.  If the 'so it can be screened in 
classrooms' had been left off, ok, I get it.  Tiered pricing.  But 
slipping those seven words make me not want to purchase their titles.


Grumble grumble,

Here's the deal, Laura

Zipporah (and many others) are not charging high prices because you're
showing stuff in the classroom--they're charging these prices primarily
(exclusively) because they're selling to institutions and they feel those
are the prices the market will bear, including, in Zipporah's case, sales
to individuals.

Here's another case of a filmmaker wanting a large sum for the right to
show films in a classroom - Zipporah Films.  In this case I was merely
purchasing a personal copy but they saw my university email address.
Comments?

Importance: High


Dear Ms. Ruede,



Thank you for your order of Frederick Wiseman's film BALLET.  Since you
listed a school email address, I am writing to confirm whether you are
purchasing the film for home use.  If not, the purchase price of this film
for colleges and universities is our list educational price of $400, which
includes public performance rights so it can be screened in classrooms.



I look forward to hearing from you soon so we can process your order.



Thank you.



Best regards,
