I'm a producer situated in Europe and want to manufacture a video DVD which shall be distributed in the U.S. by a local distributor. It's mainly softcore stuff, but explicit enough to be 2257-related.

Can anybody give me an advice, which requirements have to be complied (besides the video clips themselves) to make the distribution of this DVD legal in the U.S.?

I've heard about a 2257-disclaimer, which must be placed on the packaging and on the DVD, before the menu, not-skippable for a time a normal reader needs to read the text. Is that right and complete? Anything else which is necessary?

Any advice is greatly welcome! I don't want to pay for the manufacturing of the DVDs and then notice that I have forgotten a little detail...

You really should talk to an attorney with some experience in this area. Some things to consider:

the 2257 compliance statement (it's not a disclaimer) should probably be at the beginning and at the end of the feature.

the compliance statement should be on the DVD and on the case.

you may want to specify "all models and the characters they portray" in the wording.

The custodian of records must be an actual person.

....Really, you need to get legal help with 2257 compliance, especially in light of the proposed rule change.

The 2257 compliance does NOT need to be non-skippable
