The videos are not as clear as the movie DVDs I’m used to and also some of the videos seem clearer than others?

One of the major concerns for recording the documentary was to have only little impact on the seminar. Lighting and acoustics - if set up to serve a film recording - can be very dominating. We accepted the given situation as sufficient to record the essence of the seminar: spoken word and movements.

Unforeseen was that on day four the chosen video camera became unusable and in an emergency dash we obtained the only camera available in an Australian Country Town on a Thursday evening.

The footage of this very low end camera posed big challenges onto the editing process and we made the best from it. We tend to think the result to be pretty good - given the light and sound situation.

The license conditions state personal and educational use only. Can I organize a class where the students watch the entire set of DVD s?

No - this would fall under public performance and is not allowed. However - viewing of segments of the DVDs as part (less than half) of an educative process is permitted.
Be mindful that the training must be performed by you (the licensee).

There are three lecturers in our university department. Assuming our department would buy one copy of the AMI documentary - can all three of us then use this one set of DVDs for separate training?

Our understanding of ‘Fair Use’ (and the licence) is that each lecturer needs a legitimate copy licensed to her/him personally. Please contact us if you feel that your specific situation is not clear in regards to the legal and fair use of the documentary.

If someone else copies my DVDs,  am I responsible?

Yes - you are bound by the license conditions printed on the DVDs.
They do not allow for renting, lending and hiring.

Each set of DVDs is manufactured individually. A code allocated to the licencee is encoded (visible and invisible) at various places inside the video data files. Copies made from the DVDs can be traced back to the licensee.
