Subject: [WEB4LIB] Audio and video archiving


What kind of equipment and software are needed for audio and video
archiving? We have film movies, obsolete videotape formats and so on in our
archives. We want to preserve these materials and make them available on the
web.

What formats (WAV, AVI...) would you recommend for preservation?
What formats (MPEG...) would you recommend for web distribution?

Can anyone point me to sources of info in this area?

Thanks!
