There's a dirty little method. The field names in Tellico (which don't 
change and aren't translated and aren't even shown) for new fields are taken 
from the original title. So create a new field named ISBN. That should make 
the auto-formatting work. Once you create it, then you can change the name 
later if you want (like adding punctuation, or translation...)

Tellico won't use the ISBN for seach in a video collection, though. an ISBN 
is pretty much hard-wired to imply a book...sorry
