You're kidding, right?
The videos, whether filmed by the school for sale to parents, or filmed by a parent for their own use, will only be shown to a restricted set of people. In another thread I have open in a tab at the moment, I'm seeing the name of a child, mum's name and surname (I think), the school he goes to and, implicit in the fact he's leaving primary school, his age. If I were the sort of person that parents should worry about, that parent should be more worried about what she types online than what her school might put out on a play DVD.
The solution for schools is simple: Sell or issue tickets through parents only, My son's school have a reasonably sensible attitude to it: If names are rolled along in a title sequence, they don't have character names or any other way of matching name to face. I still think it's too restrictive, but it does appease those who might think school vids are a potential problem...

Our school has that one covered, too: Any child whose parent doesn't want them to be on video or photographed simply doesn't take part in the play.
