Re: [Avid-L2] OFF-TOPIC: Archiving Memories

Pending the source I am not so sure why _archiving_is recommended here in H.264? I know I am in a thread with Bouke but… QT is a container, H.264 is a compression. 

So Quicktime as a container can hold a lot of different and especially for archival purposes, different compressions.

Again, pending the source…

QuickTime is NOT obsolete, QT player is, but the file format is not.

(But Mp4 and QT are VERY much alike if you don't want the fancy stuff, like QT ref…)

DVD is obsolete…

Archive to H264 in either QT or Mp4 and you'll be safe for the next 30 years.

Now, where did my latest post go?

Off-topic I know, but:

In 2023, how does everyone archive their family home movies & tapes?  I'm interested in both digital and physical possible formats...

I know both Quicktime and DVD-R are obsolete, but are they still viable, and what are the alternatives?

Thanks!
