The problem is that we're looking at DVDs and videos here - things
that don't tend to have standardised numbers. A link between IMDB id
(which is probably a stable number) and reference number would be
marvellous, but do those reference numbers exist?

(This is an honest question. I don't deal with LCCNs or OCLC numbers,
generally speaking - does audiovisual material often get one of
these?)
