Re: RE: [AV Media Matters] RE: Video storage
As Jim (W) stated vis-a-vis rewinding:
"I'm not aware of any archive rewinding their tapes periodically and
I have not heard of any problems in data archives or video archives
due to tape pack stresses."
To my knowledge none of the major audio or video tape collections
rewind their tapes periodically -certainly the Library of Congress
does not have staff to do so- and I've never heard of any problems
with tapes which are attributed in any way to NON rewinding.
