Hi Gary, As long as your faculty can get their minds around the 'hit stop once' rule on DVDs, they can be cued in a machine to a precise point. That said, there are some titles that are still assigned in classes where I hold on to all copies. For the rest, they will eventually be culled due to

You definitely would not want to put them on a DVD, unless it was a round donut type. It would not spin evenly in a drive. We are using these tags, and only mark the cases. We also still double-box the feature films. For VHS we do place the label over one of the windows on top, and, mostly, that
