DVD-Video: Type of Date and Dates
Different Date Sources:
• Video image (opening and/or closing credits)
• Disc label
• Container
• Accompanying material
Different Bibliographic “Events”:
• Original production
• Release as motion picture
• Release as an earlier video format
• Release as a videodisc
• Copyrights of design or accompanying material
DVD-Video: Type of Date and Dates
Dates from the chief source (video image, disc label) are generally
the most important, but other factors must be considered:
Remember: No U.S DVD-Video can have a publication date earlier
than 1997, Japanese DVD-Videos 1996
Dates for DVD-Videos earlier than that obviously cannot be
considered “publication” dates
• A later date from a unifying element such as container or
accompanying material may be more important
• Such a later date may be used to infer a date of publication as DVDVideo
• Account for other important dates in notes
DVD-Video: Type of Date and Dates
Relatively unadorned releases of the original motion picture:
• Type of Date/Publication Status (008/06, DtSt): p
• Date 1 (008/07-10): publication date of the DVD-Video
• Date 2 (008/11-14): date of the original theatrical release
DVD-Video releases with substantial new or extra material:
• Type of Date/Publication Status (008/06, DtSt): s
• Date 1 (008/07-10): publication date of the DVD-Video
• Date 2 (008/11-14): blank
Such substantial new or extra material might include:
• documentary material (“making-of”, interviews, biographies, etc.)
• multiple versions or cuts (director’s cut, alternate endings, restored scenes,
both widescreen and pan-and-scan on same disc)
Use judgment about what and how much new material qualifies as substantial
Always include a note about date of original release in either case
• 500

OLAC CAPC Video Language Coding Best
Practices Task Force Draft
Recommendations (2007)
• 008/35-37 (Language)
• 041 (Language Code)
• 546 (Language Note)
Code for language(s) of main content
• Spoken language (including dubbing,
audio description)
• Written language (including captions,
subtitles, intertitles)
• Original language
Do not code for language(s) of special
features, credits, packaging
Language(s) of accompanying material
may be noted and coded depending upon
importance and cataloger’s judgment
DVD-Video: Language
Captions traditionally:
• Were accessible only with special
equipment; with DVDs, it’s now
usually just another menu choice
• Were intended for those unable to
hear audio; now also commonly
used in noisy places such as bars and
restaurants
• Included non-textual data:
identification of speakers,
indications of laughter, applause,
nonverbal sounds, sound effects
• Tended toward verbatim
transcription; often using rolling
text bars, non-proportional fonts
against black background, usually
the same language as that being
spoken
DVD-Video: Language
Subtitles traditionally:
• Were accessible without
special equipment; with
DVDs, they are now usually
just another menu choice
• Were intended for those who
can hear audio
• Do not include non-textual
data
• Tend toward a condensed
essence of text; not usually a
word-for-word translation
DVD-Video: Language
SDH: “Subtitles for the Deaf and
Hard-of-Hearing”
Combines features of traditional
captions and traditional subtitles:
• Usually in proportional fonts and
displayed (without black bars) in a
fashion similar to traditional
subtitles
• Hides less of the video image than
captioning did with the black bars
• Includes non-textual cues and
identification of speakers

Blu-ray Disc technology developed
by Sony/Philips in February 2002
Had been in competition with
Toshiba’s HD DVD (“HD” for both
High Definition and “High Density”),
which was developed in March 2003
• HD DVD had lower capacity and
data transfer rate
• HD DVD had less support among
major film studios
• HD DVD had less support among
manufacturers
HD DVD was discontinued in
February 2008

DualDisc
DualDisc is a single 4 ¾ inch disc
with one side that functions as a
standard audio compact disc and one
side that functions as a standard DVD
• CD side is usually a full-length CD
audio album
• DVD side may include enhanced
album audio, 5.1 surround sound,
music videos, artist interviews,
behind-the-scenes footage,
documentary films, photo
galleries, lyrics, computer-ready
digital song files, Web links,
games, etc.
LC guidelines assume that the sound
recording is determined to be the
dominant material
DualDisc: History
Developed by a group of record
companies:
• EMI Music
• Universal Music Group
• Sony/BMG Music Entertainment
• Warner Music Group
• 5.1 Entertainment Group
Now controlled by the Recording Industry

Streaming Media
Internet data transfer technique
that allows the user immediately
to hear audio files, and to hear
and see video files, without
lengthy download times before
playback. The host or source
"streams" small packets of
information over the Internet to
the user, who can access the
content as it is received. Those
temporary files are gone once
the playback is complete.
Streaming Media: Not
Streaming media will never be on a tangible medium (such as disc,
cassette, etc.). To distinguish different types of remotely-accessed
resources, non-streaming files are generally those downloaded from the
Internet to reside on a local hard drive. Some characteristics:
• File is downloaded in its entirety
• Playback cannot begin until complete file is downloaded to local system
• Playback is not in “real time”
• Playback does not require a persistent connection to a remote server
• User has access to downloaded content after its initial playback
• User will often have ability to manipulate or edit content, “burn” it onto
a tangible medium, etc.
Streaming Media: History
Streaming technology developed during the mid-1990s but initially
had extremely limited availability.
• RealPlayer (RealAudio Player) introduced in April 1995 supported
streaming media
• Predecessor of Windows Media Player first supported streaming in
May 1996
• Apple’s QuickTime 4.0, released in June 1999, was the first version
to support streaming technology
• iTunes player, released in January 2001, supported streaming
For most practical purposes, what we know today as streaming
media became available to the general market in 1999
• It would be extremely rare for any streaming audio file or
streaming video file to have a publication date earlier than
1999

Streaming Media: When to Omit 300 Field
When there are different versions of the same resource being
cataloged on a single record, or an entire site that contains many
resources being cataloged on a single record, omit physical
description 300 field
• Resource is available as both a streaming file and a downloadable
file on the same Web site
• Resource is available as different streaming versions (e.g., low
vs. high bandwidth) in separate files on the same Web site
• Resource is an updating Web site that provides access to many
streaming media files
In these instances, include details in notes
Streaming Media: Physical Description in
Notes Instead of 300 Field
When 300 field is omitted, include notes describing the streaming
files, durations, other relevant physical details
• Type and extent of resource (9.7B8)/Physical description
