*Hollywood, The Pioneers* which is about silent films is to my mind the definitive doc on any genre of film but it is very long and alas not released on DVD. Sadly I can't think of anything that comes close.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
