What are "screening cassettes"?

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Earlier posts by JOhnN and Victor Khomenko about putting films in order for viewing jogged my memory about a couple tapes I found in a Salvation Army store. I've got The Raggedy Rawney and The F.B.I. Story. Both are from Warner Home Video and are in white cardboard sleeves with labels on the box and the tape stating they're screening cassettes and are not for sale or rental. Rawney, although opened, still has the WB shrink wrapping. Both tapes show the words "screening copy" for a few moments during the opening credits. I've not encountered tapes like these before and wondered what they were for. I could part with Rawney.
