This is an important observation. I think every vlogger should take the trouble to have copies of everything they produce in two or three formats.

You could burn a CD and/or a DVD. You could also even make a VHS tape. I have had some VHS tapes that played well twenty years later.

I even had a video tape made with an early CV Sony recorder that still played this year although it was made in the late 1960s. Other tapes stuck and could not be played without expensive restoration.

Curiously, some archivists say that old fashion film survives the best of all. I find that hard to believe. While home movies from the 1960s still play, old commercially produced porn fades and becomes discolored in ten or fifteen years.

Thanks for the comment, Richard. I was beginning to wonder if anyone had watched any of these yet!

I hope you enjoy the rest!

I really enjoy this series you’re doing. With respect to this one it motivates me to want to go back and re-do all my videos and add meta-data to the quick time and wmv files that I didn’t add before.

I’m going to add all these to RichardsPicks … keep it up
