Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for renting and return video media retrofits a conventional retail establishment which rents VCR tapes, DVDs, and other video media. The retrofit enables the retail establishment to determine at the time rented video media is returned whether the video is damaged. Equipment installed in the retail establishment communicates with a remote data base both to help determine if returned video media is damaged and to generate documentation of any damage which is detected.
