Hi All.
I work at a local community cable channel, and all of our older
programming on Umatic SP, has been given to me instead of being thrown
out, since we have no more use for it, and no space for it. I have
made it a hobby to archive the shows on to a digital medium, either
hard drive or DVD. Most of the productions are 30 minutes, dating from
as late as 2000 to as early as 1980, with varying qualities. Also, a
portion of shows, were archived on to VHS tape.
Need help/advice as to how to archive them. I can use a set top dvd
recorder, but leaning more towards digitizing them with my canopus
break out box, into my imac and using FCP to fix up and archive. I
don't know if these would be ever used for rebroadcast, but do not
want to loose anymore quality than i am already loosing from the
degrading tapes, especially the VHS tapes. I am not concerned how much
space, either hard drive or DVDs, as long as it is good enough. I have
thought about encoding it in h.264 in high quality, or encoding as DV,
and storing the files on dvds or on hard drive.
Any suggestions? This is a very important project to me and i would
like to do the best job possible.
My main goal is to re-master these and destroy the master tapes once
they are preserved.
Thanks
