I know what you meant but it is just never going to happen. I think major studio stuff will be on their own systems which you can access, indie companies will let you buy it and do it on your system but even if you had money and time for all that, you have tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of films where the rights holder either won't do it or will want too much money. The foreign rights holders are particularly difficult. If only it were like that commercial where the guy goes into the rundown motel in the desert and the clerk says their cable system carries every movie ever made.

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.
