Subject: [Videolib] Multi-region DVD/VHS combo decks

Hi All,

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but does anyone recommend a 
multi-region DVD/VHS combo deck (plays international DVDs and international 
VHS) that doesn't require a multi-system TV?

Cheers,

Matt

If we're getting down to scenes - the scene in Tom Jones, and the dinner in A 
Christmas Story where the mom is trying to get Randy to eat his dinner.

[Videolib] Experience with Video Quality Evaluation?

2011-11-04 Thread scott spicer 
Hi Everyone,

This seems like a question straight out of a media librarian's handbook,
but I am going to ask it anyways.  We are about to house a collection of
approx. 200 videos of Peruvian prison dissident government satire plays
from our Latin American Studies department. Due to the sensitive nature of
this ephemera material use will be restricted to on-site viewing. Given
that they are currently mostly in VHS format we are looking at outsourcing
conversion to DVD for longer term access, not necessarily of archival
quality (I would prefer to digitize for streaming, but it is not in the
cards right now).  I have been asked to examine some of the DVDs that have
already been encoded and compare with the VHS copy for quality to determine
if we should have the whole batch redone for consistency or if those
already converted are of high enough quality.

Is anyone familiar with a relatively straightforward technical test to make
this assessment, in the absence of color bars?  Is a more objective test
even necessary, or would a perceptual evaluation be sufficient?

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] Warner Brothers DVD plan

2011-11-04 Thread Tatar, Becky 
Hi, all,

Sorry for the cross posting.  With 2 Warner Brothers movies in retail release 
this month, Crazy Stupid Love and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, 
how are you planning to deal with the new plan for Warner Brother's movies?  
Are you just going to wait for the rental versions, or are you going to go out 
and purchase the retail copy - a few copies at a time from each retailer?  If 
you get both versions, will you be putting 2 records in your catalog, or will 
you combine them into 1 record, with each version individually labeled somehow 
in the item record?  Any other information on how you are handling this will be 
appreciated.  Thanks a lot!

Hi Jessica,

Thanks for recommending that "A Chinese Feast", it's one of my family's 
favorites. We adore the scene w/ the big Garoupa.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chinese_Feast

If you liked that one, you might also enjoy Stephen Chow's "The God of Cookery" 
- which also has a cooking show-down http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of_Cookery

There's a also food motif in the love interest in his "Shaolin Soccer", the 
duogh scene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6DYOXkdwp4&feature=related

Zhang Yimou's "A Simple Noodle Story" ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Simple_Noodle_Story

- a remake of Blood Simple, but set in a noodle shop in China's Far West during 
 the Qing (?).  I remember it has a nice dough making scene, but that was about.

Hark. It ends withsort of a cook off to the death between the good chef and the 
bad chef, basically like Samurai film with food. An earlier scene involving a 
petty criminal who becomes a chef to be with girlfriend and ends up wrestling a 
giant fish in the kitchen makes me laugh just thinking of it.
