Hi Walter,

Thank you for your response. I’m tempted to talk about video archival infrastructure but I don’t want to go beyond the scope of my question. In this particular instance I think I’ll keep the prores and make a JPEG2000 copy for safe keeping.

Thank you once again for your help,

Eben

Hi Walter,

The archivist doesn’t have any suggestions about this. He just has a knee-jerk reaction whenever I say ‘proprietary’ or mention Niagara Falls. There was a report done by the Dance Heritage Coalition where they concluded that JPEG2000 is best because it uses lossless compression. Do you think I should go with this?

Thank you,

Eben

That’s what I get for being melodramatic.

Hi Mark and Shane,

I have to confess, it’s not just the archivist. I have some concerns about leaving them in this codec too. I’m imagining fifty years from now where the unknowable is painted in by my fears. What if Apple drops support for ProRes in the distant future and neither Final Cut or Quicktime can play them?

Thank you,

Eben

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your replies. Sorry it took me a while to respond. Now I understand what I can do to. I will batch convert all of the video files to dv25, and then I won’t have to be around to render each video. This will make my life so much easier.

Thank you once again!

Thanks Shane, that clears up some confusion.
