Ok #avpres question. We recently digitized an old umatic tape with a documentary on it. Only one audio stream in stereo with the left side being English and right side being Vietnamese. Currently the MKV only has English for the audio stream. Without splitting the audio stream into two, what is the best way to manage the technical metadata? #digipres

Fun question at #nttw8 for Peter Wobser. If you had an important tape you needed you to transfer, would you rather go back in time or into the future to get the best migration? #digipres #avpres

For those AV preservation folks. This is a rare opportunity. Located near me, so very tempting. #RockfordFosgate #avpres https://www.whitehat-estatesales.com/upcoming-sales?mibextid=Zxz2cZ

For #fileformat Friday we have a new post about a proprietary audio format used on the Sony IC Recorders from a few years back. MSV/DVF voice files use 3 different codecs! #digipres #avpres https://preservation.tylerthorsted.com/2023/04/21/sony-voice-recorder/

Is there an online repository of bad video files? Needed some to test a QC/validation system. #DigiPres #AVPres #VideoQC
