Re: [AMIA-L] Preserving digital video vs. film

["Richard L. Hess" <arclists@RICHARDHESS.COM>]

That's interesting--I'm wondering if there will not be a supply of 1-inch
C-type VTRs later. This format was used more recently than quad and was the
last analog format before digital. I suspect that the machines MIGHT be in
use. There were a lot in use in the 80s. Perhaps they haven't seen their
way to being as low in the food chain as 2-inch Quad machines.
