  Best uncompressed format for archiving?

  Posted by Jonathan Shohet on July 21, 2006 at 6:08 am

  Hi,
  I just finished editing an 8 minute film. My source was jpeg time-lapse sequences created on a dslr and converted in combustion to quicktime animation uncompressed, 768×576 pal square progressive (after some color corrections and compositing). There are additional color corrections, transitions and titles done in premiere pro 2.

  I now need to archive the project. I already made a tga sequence + Wav backup, but I want an uncompressed avi\quicktime file as well.

  could you discuss the differences between the various uncompressed options available, and what would yield the best output? file size is not a big issue, I have more than enough disk space. Also, should some sort of 10-bit rendering be considered, even though the source files and the project itself were done in 8-bit?

  many thanks

  You could use 10 bit uncompressed AVI, but that usually is only needed if animation is involved. 8 bit should be all you’ll ever need.
