how to release a movie

[georgegll]

how would someone go about releasing a movie onto dvd that was independently released 40 years ago and the director and producer can not be found?

The director and producer are not really that important. You need to find out who owns the rights (look for a copyright notice in the titles). It might take some research if the studio has changed hands over the years. Also, some studio's rights have been bought up wholesale by people like Ted Turner.
