The copyright office has a number of publications and circulars and the like
discussing this, one example is
<http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ45.html>.
The bottom line is that if it's published you send them a copy of whatever
it was that you published, if it's not published you send them whatever you
like, however if it's in a form that they cannot view there's a list of
information that you need to provide them that normally appears in the
credits. There are also circumstances with older recordings under which
they need a copy in a viewable form in order to ensure that specific
notices have been properly applied.
For published works they list "videodisk" as one of the formats they accept,
but they don't say what particular flavor. Personally I'd be very
surprised if the Library of Congress did not own a DVD player.
