Re: [AV Media Matters] The FILE is the thing ! Was -DigitizingAudio and Video
Richard & Jim Lindner
We agree about treating video as Files. Any comments about Serial ATA?
I agree that we are in an in-between period. I recommend that archives
hold
off any plans for migrating until we get a clearer picture of the
various
possible media. I suggest that archives request funding for converting
all audio
and video material to digital. A small but expandable robotic system is
ideal. I believe Jim Lindner knows of a robotic system that meets this
requirement.
The reasons I like Hard Disk Drives for archiving video is their high
density, low cost and the absense of interchange problems that plague
videotapes and
optical discs. As I have said before, the issue of obsolence can be
handled
by assigning three computers to the archive and NEVER upgrade the
software.
