MXF+JPEG-2000+HDD = Future of Video Preservation?

Posted by CmdrTaco on Sunday February 6, 2005 @04:03AM from the archivists-know-how-to-party dept.

Anonymous Archivist writes "Media Matters, a technical consultancy specializing in archival audio and video material, recently completed a Mellon Foundation funded Digital Video Reformatting Preservation Project for the Dance Heritage Coalition. They conclude that MXF is the recommended container format, JPEG-2000 is the recommended encoding format and HDD is the recommended storage media. It's a very valuable series of experiments and offers a strong indication of where the archival preservation of analogue video is heading."

They're talking about video. You can't get TIFF videos. Also while JPEG 2000 is lossy it's considered to be 'good enough'. Of course, some people thought this about MPEG 1 when it came out, so you might have a point.
