Re: [PLUG] How to Store Video Files for 25 Years - Zappa

[jeff <jeffv@op.net>]

in a semi-related left turn, the Zappa Estate is going through an 
absolutely frightening amount of audio and video data in a frightening 
amount of formats. There is everything from silent 8mm video to 2" 
multitrack tapes that are decomposing (like Frank - sorry), to 
proprietary formats (Synclavier). They are working through vaults of 
stuff, trying to get it stable and converted (to whatever they're 
converting it to).

Alex Winter (Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure) is putting together a 
documentary via a successful Kickstarter.

Hopefully there's something useful in here.
If nothing else, it's fascinating. No news on it, but they probably 
found linux boxes all over the place. He did things his own way.
