So in taking a moment to beef up my site, I wandered over the the Infopeople.org website to see what was new and found that they had archived in the webinar section four presentations on Digital Preservation:
I just happened to click into the Audio and Video presentation. Key info:
- preservation format should be in WAV and probably in BWV (broadcast wave)
- resolution (96) kilohertz and (24)bit-depth capture is going to be beyond the "limits of human hearing" and while you may ask, why should I capture outside those limits, you may have a collection of animal song (birds, whales) which is outside of human recognition
- video as compared to film is generally captured on "unstable formats" and so digital transfer is a given for video preservation
