PEPS will make Video/Audio Dubs & Conversions–provided the request meets copyright/Fair Use guidelines.

There is an important distinction between owning media and owning the copyright for the media. PEPS is generally unable to duplicate or convert copyrighted materials unless the person making the request is either the owner of the copyright or has written permission from the owner. More detailed descriptions about copyright and what is possible is outlined on the Copyright forms, below.

  • Requester must verify that their use of the media meets either Criteria 1 or ALL of the qualifications under Criteria 2 on the appropriate Copyright forms.
  • Duplication forms are for making additional copies in the exact same format–DVD to DVD, for example. Conversions Forms are for changing the format–DVD to .mp4, for example.
  • Media DUPLICATION Copyright Verification Form (available after signing into Carleton gmail)
  • Media CONVERSION Copyright Request Form (available after signing into Carleton gmail)

One the form is complete, media may be delivered to WCC30 with the appropriate and completed Copyright Form.

When physical media, such as a DVD or CD is requested, PEPS creates these items on a ‘cost of materials’ basis. A departmental charge number is required OR Schillers can be accepted using your OneCard.  We are unable to accept cash.

Please allow 5 business days standard processing. Large projects will require more time.

Please limit the number of items to be duplicated to six items at a time. If you have more than six items to duplicate, please only bring in six at a time. Our office is not equipped to handle large numbers of originals. Once we’ve completed the six tapes, you may pick up the copies, and bring in six more originals.

PEPS will not duplicate materials that contain an FBI anti-copy warning, and is unable to copy items with a ‘Digital Rights Management’ (DRM) program. Many new CDs and DVDs contain this software, making copies impossible. Please see Carleton College’s Copyright Policy.
