Hi!
I would like to have the "dvd video" logo on my dvd (amateur film for 100 copies, distributed to people and festivals). But when I enter the dvd logo licensing corporation web page, it seems very complicated, not worth the trouble.
What are your thoughts about this. Is the logo only for the professionals?
I am sure people use it anyway, but is that a crime? I don't want to commit a crime
Thanks
Urban

in many European countrys it is a crime. However in Sweden, the punishment is to be given a stiff massage, repeat offenders are sentenced to 3 hours in the sauna.

I certainly wouldn't do it - especially if you are handing the product out in public venues. -
You have to apply to Dolby for a trademark agreement:

http://www.dolby.com/professional/licensing_trademark/usage_artwork.html says:
If you wish to use Dolby trademarks to indicate that any other type of prerecorded content has been created using Dolby technologies, and you are making more than fifty copies of the same DVD, laserdisc, CD, game, or cassette, or are selling the prerecorded content, you will need to apply for a Trademark Agreement. -
You should be able to put a statement likes "Compatible to most DVD player with/without Dolby surround playback" on the DVD label, instead dealing with the licensing issue.

If you want a logo, but are concerened about copyright issues, why not make one of your own ? I've done this for a film I'm currently working on.
You could use the letters D, V and D, but in a different font and with a different backgound. After all, you'll only be stating fact in that the item is actually a DVD, so no-one can legitimately object to your doing that. -

Or just use the DVD-R or DVD+R logos. They look almost the same as the DVD-Video logo and your legit as well.

Further to my previous post, it would not be misleading, illegal or be an infringement of a trade mark to have "DVD" printed on a DVD, because it would be a statement of fact. Also, nobody owns the exclusive right to use those particular letters of the alphabet, because if they did, it would make a mockery of the legal systems of many countries. The actual logo which is used on commercial DVDs is trademarked, which is why I suggested using a different layout and font.
Job's a good 'un.
