This directory serves as a comprehensive catalog of home and educational videos available in 1999. It aims to provide detailed information on a vast array of video content, facilitating discovery and access for consumers and professionals alike. The publication is structured to offer extensive listings, genre classifications, and key personnel involved in the production of each video.

As a directory, its value is primarily in its comprehensiveness and accuracy of listings for the time of publication. The inclusion of detailed metadata such as genre, cast, and director would have been crucial for users seeking specific video content. Its utility would have been highest for those involved in video acquisition, research, or simply seeking to navigate the home video market of the late 1990s.
