I also use the world "legacy" when referring to 16mm, laserdisc, etc. I
don't quite do that with VHS yet.

Not a library term but I prefer classic. I just attended a film festival
of 4 days of features, shorts and cartoons all in 16mm and still regularly
watch VHS.

To me, "legacy" and "heritage" are good words because they imply "media for
which we ought to maintain playback equipment."
The other day someone was trying to explain to me about a documentary
film-maker who made films-"real films, on, you know, film, not video."
Conversely, someone corrected a
Does anyone know what is up with this company?? I licensed 6 films from them to
stream through their Media Hub platform about a year ago. Now when I try to
access the platform, I get this message:
The Video Project Digital MediaHUB is no longer functioning. We apologize for
any inconvenience.

How can we know a format is considered obsolete by law? Is there a government
agency that declare this officially? I know VHS tapes are not yet considered
obsolete. But what about audio cassette tapes?

Beautifully put, Judy. This is one of the discussion points we'll be
addressing at the "AMIA@ALA" pre-conference in San Francisco (
http://connect.ala.org/node/232455), specifically during the section I'm
chairing titled Using Films. I hope you don't mind my quoting your post
since it articulates
We use the term "legacy" or "obsolete" formats. Certainly VHS is one of these
"obsolete" recording schemes.

Too lazy to look up the exact wording but the law says can be considered
obsolete if the equipment needed to play it is no longer available ( it may
say manufactured )
I just checked on Amazon and oddly there are tons of brand new cassette
players available in a variety of types.

Thanks Jessica. But is there an official/legal declaration? This criteria of
availability in the market or still being manufactured is a very subjective and
loose criteria in today’s market when you can buy an equipment from any part of
the world with a click. I’m sure there are many countries s
Take a look at Amazon, they are clearly very widely available. I can
imagine other formats that might be more complicated but here they are
easily available directly from Amazon( and I suspect many other places) no
issue of having to get them from overseas. Most electronics are made
outside the US

I think it depends on what was on the tapes. For example, 8-tracks were mostly
for commercial material which, if it was preserved, migrated to other formats.

I do not disagree but preservation is a seperate issue from what is legal

and distributed (and I kind of assumed that what was being asked) which
includes "educational" material sold on cassette is not an obsolete

Thanks for all your feedback. I gather there is no “Official” / “Legal” agency
to declare a format obsolete. It’s all based on our judgment.

Right, Jessica. I was just commenting on your observation that cassette
players are easily available. I think they are available because people still
need them. But the link someone else sent regarding new material issued on
tapes is relevant, too.
Re. obsolete formats, though, my point that mo
No it is not based on judgement. The copyright law very clearly states that
a format can only be determined as "obsolete" if the equipement to show it

Hi everyone,
Just got off the phone with Craig Malina from The Video Project. Turns out the
Media Hub was taken offline very recently (yesterday!) and we were able to sort
out very agreeable alternative access to the titles I licensed. If you have
titles licensed from Video Project I urge you t
Yes but there is a distinction to be made for copyright purposes between
formats that are “obsolete” and formats that are damaged or deteriorating. See

It might be useful to add the term “obsolescent” into the mix:
Obsolescent media or technology would be in the process of becoming obsolete
