This one got me for a while too. Although there is no one font for this purpose (designers are obviously free to pick and choose their type, and frequently do), I found that for the traditional credits on DVD and video packaging like you're describing, Bitstream's
Zurich Light Extra Condensed absolutely does the trick. But there are plenty of alternatives kicking around.
