This is being posted for Beth Delaney, Nederlands Institute for Sound and Vision 

"Can anyone tell me if it is acceptable to freeze magnetic sound film?  I don't seem to find in any literature that this is not a good idea. Often the literature states that it is recommended to "freeze acetate film", not differentiating between acetate image material and acetate magnetic sound film."

I personally believe that it is probably not recommended, but I wanted to check with the ARSC folks, before responding back to Beth.

Thanks,
