Video library database

We are trying to implement a video library at work for a series of
training videos. Our employees will contact us by email requesting a
videotape which we will ship out by Fedex for a period of 30 days. We
already have properly linked tables with all employees, offices, etc.,
so that part of the job is done.

What I need help with is the check-out check-in functionality.
Ideally, I would like to be able to track the number of copies of tape
in stock and to put people on a waiting list for tapes that are out of
stock.

I'm sure that plenty of people have done this in the past. I even saw
a reference to an old Access 97 template, but I can't seem to find it.
Any ideas or examples would be greatly appreciated.

There's an example in Access 2000 Power Programming, by Scott Barker
(SAMS publishes it, I think.) Check in/out... I would create loan
records for each time a person borrows a tape.

(BorrowerID, TapeID, ShipDate, ReturnDate)
TapeID - each tape has a unique identifier. Autonumber is fine - it
just has to refer to ONE copy of a tape. You should probably read
Albert Kallal's notes on reservation systems, because that's what this
sounds like.

Looking to find info/ libs on creating (small) video files. Basically what I'm looking for is a tutorial for constructing a short video... (nothing nasty: output from a transmission line simulation). I've been searching for a while now, and all I get is info for creation inside someone else's app. Rather useless for me. The sim needs to be web accessible. So I was thinking mpeg, quicktime, wmv, avi, etc.

Hi Does anyone know how I can grab a video stream from an IP-address? There's a video web server for live image transmission in the Internet. Data transfer is accomplished via TCP/IP. The web cam that I am using is integrated into a network with fixed IP address. The streaming software is already there, so I have to go to this IP-address to see the live video stream. How can I grab this video stream from an IP-address with an application...
