This section addresses cataloging commercially available <strong>DVD</strong>-Video (both st<strong>and</strong>ard<br />
<strong>and</strong> high definition) containing film material <strong>and</strong> television programs, using the rules<br />
found in AACR2 Chapter 7 (Motion Pictures <strong>and</strong> Videorecordings) <strong>and</strong> MARC 21<br />
Format for Bibliographical Data.<br />
General Comments on <strong>DVD</strong>-Video<br />
Most commercially available <strong>DVD</strong>-Videos contain movies or television programs. For<br />

• Advertisements<br />
• Preview/trailers<br />

carry a statement listing the equipment required <strong>to</strong> run the bonus materials. Enhanced<br />
<strong>DVD</strong>s should be treated in the same manner as enhanced CDs, where one or two<br />
tracks of a CD contain computer-required information. The predominant component of<br />
an enhanced <strong>DVD</strong> is the film itself. Therefore one should catalog enhanced <strong>DVD</strong>s as<br />
