Is it on DVD? Or, maybe you put it up on youtube? Possibly on your PDA or computer? Just curious...
Do you market yourself with video?

We have a number of videos on our web site. At one time we sent out a lot of DVD's (and before that VHS tapes and CD-ROM's). Since we have our videos on our website we very rarely get requests to mail out a DVD.
YES.... videos up on my website

Ive also put together a 1.5 min video wedding related... its not posted up on a site, but hosted on line, and I can send the link to brides. its not all that great, its video that I have taken.... hence, Im not in any of the video.. it just shows guests, brides and grooms dancing, enjoying themselves...
but I see video being very important!

I have built a DVD that I show to brides. It includes clips from weddings, photos of some of our setups, and some example photo montages.
I don't put clips on the web because I don't get the releases; however, I do tell each client that I may take video or photos for promotional purposes and that they will not be on the web.
My question here in regard to YouTube and DJ websites, how do you get around not having releases? Suppose a guest sees the video and objects? Suppose a guest is there with someone other than his/her spouse?

We do not do weddings, so rarely would we have footage of a small group of people. At this time, we only have high school video footage, and we use wide group shots where individuals are not recognizable. If we had a concern, complaint or comment, the video would be pulled and edited appropriately.
I was told that as long as there is a rider about reprodoucing images in your contract it works as a mass release for private functions
Actually, that is a little misguided. For instance, I can not sign a release on your behalf just because you are at my party. That is what the stipulation in your contract is asking you to do. Add to that any minors and you have additional issues.
At a public event, crowd photos are ok. Individual photos, I believe, still warrant a release signature. At a private function (wedding, high school, etc) any identifying photos would need a release signed from the individual or their legal guardian. So, basically, your contract would only allow you to publish photos identifying the contracting party--not their guests, family, friends, etc.
It's safest to make sure any published photos you use do not have identifiable individuals in them. Good luck with that!

I had a video once, but then Screech, Tommy Lee and all the other started doing theirs, so people lost interest in mine.....ohh wait, you did not mean THAT kind of video 
In all seriousness, I don't know the exact legal way it works for private functions, but I can tell you that every venue I work with has a sign on their door and above the bar that says when you enter, you are consenting to be photographed and/or video taped.
Many girls, with the help of some refreshments, have done some things they would not want mommy and daddy to know about, but have never won in court because it is so prominently posted all over the place.
