| Publication Status (DtSt) | s | Single known publication date, or single questionable date, decade, or century (e.g. expressed in the 264 ‡c as a single year) |
| p | Use code p (=content identical to original but different medium) if the video (videocassette or DVD) contains the same material as the original motion picture or television production, with no "extras." "Extras" would include closed captioning and subtitles as well as the more obvious "director's commentary" and "making of" documentary. If there are any extras, use s (=new work). | |
| t | Use this when there is both a publication date (even an inferred one) and a copyright date in the 264 ‡c, even if both dates are the same | |
| q | Questionable date when there is more than one questionable date in the 264 ‡c. | |
| r | Code r (=reissued in the same medium with no change in content) might be used for a work first issued directly on videocassette in 1986 and then reissued (again on videocassette) by another publisher in 1996. | |
| Date1 | yyyy | 4 digit beginning date. This should be the date as in the 264 ‡c, or the first date when there is more than one. Unknown digits may be represented with a "u". |
| Date2 | yyyy | 4 digit date to be used when Publication Status (DtSt) is p, t or q. Unknown digits may be represented with a "u" . This date represents the production date of the original (e.g. when the original film was released or when the original television program was aired). For questionable dates, Date2 would be the last date in a date range given in the 264 ‡c (e.g. between 1997 and 2004 would have Date1 2004 and Date2 1997). When there are 264 fields with publication date and a copyright date, the copyright date goes in Date2 |
| Place of Publication (Ctry) | xxx | Use the code for the state/country of the original production, not the country of distribution or release. For multicountry productions, enter the first named state/country. |
| Running time (Time) | xxx |
3-digit minutes. Select total number of minutes from the menu. Running time is always rounded up to the nearest minute. An hour and 10 minutes would be 070.
