806.13(b)(4)

Separately registrable works of author­ship fixed in film, videotape, or the like. A film, videotape, or the like can constitute the form of embodiment in which a copyrightable work other than a motion picture is fixed. Generally, in such cases the deposit requirements for the particular work of authorship being registered govern the form of the deposit, rather than the deposit requirements for motion pictures. Examples include the following:

1)

Pantomime fixed in a one-half-inch videocassette.

2)

Choreography fixed in a hologram.

3)

Resume spoken and fixed in a three­ quarter-inch videocassette.

4)

Graphic illustrations fixed in Super 8 film.

NOTE: For deposit requirements in the case of an unpublished work that is fixed or a published work that is published only as embodied in a soundtrack that is an integral part of a motion picture, see section 806.11 above.
