Hi All, at the APV we act as agents for Phonographic Performance and issue licences on their behalf.
In fact we have been doing this for many years and are only one of three licencing agents in the UK
Dubbing in post for a private event or wedding video will be covered if a licence is issued by us (valid for 1 year) and one PPL sticker is purchased for every tape/dvd produced and attached to the packaging (Note: commercial or web distribution is not covered). There is a minimum number of five stickers must be purchased per licence issued. See here http://www.apv.org.uk/apv_ppl_licences.asp?menu=m2

There is a new scheme for professional wedding videographers (as a result of lobbying over many years) whereby if you purchase 50 licences (or more) a very attractive discount scheme is in operation this is only available to our members, but the purchase of 50 saves you more than the APV membership costs (contact the APV by email if you want details).

The PPL licence covers post-production dubbing of commercially available music from UK based performers. To cover live music recording at a wedding in cluding the copyright of the composer etc. you need additionally an MCPS licence (which also covers you for 'some' production music).

BTW I am the director of the APV (Association of Professional Videomakers in case you were wondering...)

I hope this helps
