Putting videos on a course DVD

[Koichi Sato <ksato2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In distance education, if I want to create a DVD  that accompanies the 
course and has a few videos on it that I don't own the copyright for, what 
do I need to do to make it happen?  The course is not an online course; it 
is a print-based correspondence course. I want students to watch those 
videos and write responses to them. One of the videos I am thinking about 
is an documentary video from HBO that I purchased online ($25). What if it 
was a recorded video from a regular TV channel like Discovery Channel? 
What if it was a TV commercial? 

I know showing them in a classroom is okay, but how can it be done in the 
distance education settings, especially in the print-based course? As a 
backup plan, I thought about requiring them to subscribe to NetFlix and 
get them to find the videos on their own. But, if there are ways I can 
create a DVD with all those videos on it and include the DVD in the course 
packet, I would like to know how I can go about it.
