- HorseloverFat8, on 05/11/2008, -2/+26I thought, "40 degrees is pretty hot to be storing film at!"
But then I realised you were American, the land of Fahrenheit. - mesoiam, on 05/11/2008, -2/+13That's 4.4 degrees celsius. This is 2008.
- solid12345, on 05/11/2008, -0/+5That is another video that needs to be preserved for generations to come btw
- MrSarcasm, on 05/11/2008, -0/+3Oh dammit
- verkon, on 05/11/2008, -0/+3What is this blu-ray dvd they speak of?
- deviationer, on 05/11/2008, -2/+6heh most of the classics are just waiting to be scanned at 4,000 x 3,000 to be turned into blu-ray releases.
- solid12345, on 05/11/2008, -1/+4Nope, sorry won't happen, the studios would rather focus their efforts on launching Epic Movie, Norbit and Delta Farce on Blu-Ray first.
- blup3ace, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2***** THE MPAA!
- drexy, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2Unfortunately a DVD is not really a good long term format, a test was carried out where a number of DVDs was put away for 5 years and then checked for quality, a good deal of them had decayed to the point where they was no longer useful. I cant remember the study or be bothered to find it, as it was quite a while ago I saw it.
- verkon, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2Yeah thought the same but came to the same conclusion as you.
- zadadka, on 05/11/2008, -0/+3100 years perhaps...and so far, that's only manufacturers spiel...notice you get no guarantee.
- Shigglyboo, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1if anybody has any film they need transferred check out the place I work: www.posthouse.com
We've just recently started offering various HD formats. We do everything from home movies to film restoration and new material as well. I've learned a lot about film since working here. Lots of amazing footage is being lost every day to improper storage or simply due to age. - OmegaWolf, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2Can't they just digitize all the old movies? Then what happens to the celluloid film will matter not at all.
- JudgeMonkey, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1You deserve to be added to a list of people who have died horrifically bloody deaths.
- Velirno, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1Also, I think there's a factor of quality, and the price of actually putting these films to a different format.
- 4rp4n3t, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1Today's high quality is tomorrow's youtube
- Shigglyboo, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1you're wayyy off actually. 45 minutes of uncompressed 10-Bit 1080i will push 450GB
- 4rp4n3t, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1RTFA much?
- acatzr800, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1yay I drive by there every day on the way to work
- geoboy, on 05/12/2008, -1/+1Yeah, we measure temperature with decimal points now! Fancy *****!
- Rosco, on 05/11/2008, -1/+1I saw some ***** gobbler called lpf20 spamming on Digg.com, where every message he posts is about some ***** web site best left avoided.
- vdogg89, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1ya, you'd think they simply scan the film at extremely high quality and be done with it
- verkon, on 05/11/2008, -3/+2Now now, USA is using the Fahrenheit scale and as such we must adapt to that, even though it is just them and some hand full of other countries using it.
- godane, on 05/12/2008, -1/+1i think the films would have to be made in a HD RAW uncompressed format. Store on a RAID-1 system with 16 drives. Each movie will be 60-80GB at this format. If not closer too 200GB. They can use internet2 speed to mirror to other networks like this around the world. Of course this will be 5-10 years before this could be done.

- goscript, on 05/11/2008, -6/+3Burn them on a DVD and you can watch them safely 500 years from now
