Regarding the "filmed with" and "on disc with" situation, I get the sense that these are effectively "bound with" situations for carriers other than volumes. I can't help but wonder if there are further ways to align and consolidate these instructions for the resulting aggregates? I am also mindful that "bound with" historically applied to manifestations where such a "bound with" dynamic was brought about by the publisher rather than any post-publication effort by an owner (is that restriction still in effect -- the definition no longer seems so specific?). The "filmed with" and "on disc with" as aggregates on a new carrier for previously published content seem to represent a grey zone -- the original content was published separately but the publisher who is reproducing the content on a new carrier is engaging a post-publication activity with respect to the original content. This is not entirely the same as an owner creating an aggregate but it opens the question of the point at which aggregates are created. Maybe that is the whole point of the "on manifestation with" and "on carrier unit with" elements as distinct from the "bound with" element? Apologies if that is the case and I'm having an Emily Litella moment.
