# AV-specific issues
24+
25+
I want to talk about av-specific issues and go into what those look like, and then we can move on to talk about solutions!
26+

# AV-specific issues
29+
30+
- Format confusion
31+
- Storage (very very big)
32+
- Time is involved (to view and to do)
33+
- Migration before assessment
34+
- Old hardware and new hardware required
35+
- $$$$$$$$$$$$
36+
- Then what do you do?
37+
38+

# Formats
42+
43+
## - Film
44+
## - Tape
45+
## - Digital
46+
47+
Each format will need special treatment, and there are three major audiovisual formats (this is for both audio and video): film, tape, and digital.
48+
49+

50+
# Formats!
51+
52+
- 8 mm 9.5 mm 16 mm 17.5 mm 28 mm 35 mm 70 mm
53+
- lots of tape and plastic in various sizes
54+
- 01100100011000010111010001100001
55+
- pick-and-mix (e.g. film with magnetic media audio track, tapes with digital video. Also, wax/vinyl!)
56+

# Storage
60+
61+
- files can be very big
62+
63+
---
64+
# Time ⏰🔂
65+
66+
- Takes time to do stuff,
67+
- takes time to watch and listen to stuff (QA),
68+
- takes time to move stuff around...
69+
70+
---
71+
# Migration before assessment
72+
73+
- Digitization must happen before you can know what the content is all about
74+
- No minimal collection-level processing
75+
76+
---
77+
# Hardware knowledge
78+
79+
- need an expert on really old stuff
80+
- need an expert on really new stuff
81+
- have to be able to afford both
82+
- both (or combo skillset) are expensive 💁‍♀️
83+

# $$$$$$$$$$$$
86+
87+
To be super cheesy, like a picture is worth a thousand words, and each second of film/video is like 18-60 pictures per second plus audio, so like...? $$$
88+
89+
---
90+
# And then what?
91+
92+
After all this decision-making, you have to be able to go two directions with it, preserve it and also share it

# About complex media
101+
102+
I think a lot of the same practices still apply -- very large files, migration from a legacy carrier to a modern one, degradation and loss, multiple format streams, objects that must move through time to be perceived, all of these have to be sorted out for a/v first, so it gives you a good start on the things that will be coming into archives in the present, the future, as well as the recent past.

# Thinking big to small
106+
107+
- ecosystems
108+
- storing files
109+
- metadata
110+
- collaboration
111+
- file conversion
112+
- file validation
113+

115+
# Biggest: ecosystems
116+
117+
- OAIS!!!!
118+
- TRAC!!!!
119+
- Archivematica
120+
- Avalon
121+
- Islandora
122+
- Samvera
123+
- many more things
124+

# Big: storing files
127+
128+
- RAID
129+
- **LTO**
130+
- Cloud
131+
132+
I want to highlight the middle one might be unfamiliar to people not working with big file sizes but is popular in a/v, but it's LTO, Linear Tape-Open, and it's sending all of this stuff back to tape!
133+
134+

135+
# Medium: Metadata
136+
137+
- Descriptive
138+
- Technical
139+
- etc
140+
- **Transcriptions**
141+
142+
Don't underestimate the requirement for transcribing all video, anything that goes online must be transcribed with closed captioning readily available! And that can be a very large task.
143+
144+

145+
# Medium: Collaboration
146+
147+
- Work with others!!!!!!!!!!
148+
149+

150+
# Small: File conversion
151+
152+
- FFmpeg
153+
- Normalization
154+
- Standard formats
155+
- Compression
156+
- Codecs
157+
- Containers
158+
159+

160+
# Smallest: File validation
161+
162+
- MediaInfo and MediaConch
163+
- QCTools
164+
- Siegfried, FIDO, `file`, JHOVE
165+
- PRONOM
166+
- FFprobe
167+
- DVAnalyzer
168+
- all the MetaEdits (BWF, MOV, AVI)
169+
- checksums (can take a long time!)

# Automation

175+
176+
Good news is so much of this can be automated to work without you doing everything! But the bad news is the tale of The Sorcerer's Apprentice. But fortunately we have each other, the best possible resource, instead of just broomsticks!

# Additional Resources

TODO, if you see this bug me about it
