Book jackets in our catalog are pulled from Amazon.com

I * suspect * the system is set to pull images based on a match between the 
ISBN in the catalog and on the Amazon site.  But Amazon records do not display 
an ISBN for videos.

Subject: [Videolib] DVD Cover Art in online catalogs?

Just curious... Does anyone have any idea why book cover art will show
up in online catalogs, but DVD cover art (generally) doesn't? Is it a
licensing issue?

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.
