  I read the query of 09-06-2006 concerning conversion of a video collection. We are facing the same question; can I assume, given MKardick's reply, that if the videos are NOT available on DVD we have the right to copy them? What about videos that may eventually be re-released in DVD?

  You cannot assume that. If the video tapes are available in any non-obsolete format, including VHS, then you probably don't meet the requirements for section 108 copying.

  I agree with COvalle that VHS can certainly not be considered obsolete and, the way I read it, that you cannot circulate these copies outside of the library anyway.
