Hi Tony,
You might want to have a look at the report of the Digital Moving Images and
Sound Archiving Study, funded by JISC in 2006. You might want to look at the
following sections more specifically:
5.2.3 Digital moving image formats
5.2.5 Recommendations for file formats for preservation of digital moving
images
6.3.1 Moving images
This sections contains two tables, giving suggested migration paths for
standard moving image and sound media types, followed by a second table
recommending preservation formats for a number of the common moving image
formats currently in use.
The full report is available at
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/programmes/preservation/moving%20pictu
res%20and%20sound%20archiving%20final%20version.doc.
Hope this helps.
Regards,

Subject: LONG TERM VIDEO/MOVIE FORMAT - What should it be
Hi all
We are just trying to place a video of a Looked after Child on to our EDRMS
and were just discussing what format we should be using to ensure it is;
* Usable by other government agencies
* accessible or convertible in 40-50 years.
Any ideas?
I have had a look for the on e-government interoperability web site but was
not able to successful locate anything to help. Even though I know they did
do some work on specific file formats that government agencies were supposed
to be using. So if you know what document this is in it would be very
helpful.
Many thanks
