Had a quick look at LimoHD and it appears to be a proprietary software so surely not the best for digital preservation?

Anyone interested in video preservation should check out LimoHD. Its
precursor, which Dimitrovsky used to resurrect Weinbren and Friedman's
Erl King for the 2004 Guggenheim exhibition Seeing Double, made use of
a brilliant strategy for archiving moving images. Each frame of video
is saved as a bitmapped image on a hard drive with a filename
consisting of the frame number, which makes it easy to write programs
to interact with and trivial to preserve: no codec!
