2). In section 4. Restrictions it states "You may not distribute,
publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform the
Work with any technological measures that control access or use of the
Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this License Agreement."

Using the same collective work consisting of ten short films as an
example, does this mean I can distribute my collective work on VHS video
tape but not on DVD? Because VHS tape does not typically contain any
encryption but standard DVDs would?

Well, afaik this really IS an anti-DRM (digital restriction management) clause. Just don't encrypt the DVD ;-)
