format. Some of these are old and we are afraid we will loose them entirely.
Some of these are no longer being distributed. Working within copyright
guidelines, the librarians and I would like to work on converting these. We
have tested and could use a basic version of Dazzle by Pinnacle to do this.
However, before we purchase, set up, and start this project, we have
questions:
1) Are there issues with onsite produced DVDs in terms of longevity? We've
heard these types of DVD only last a few years as compared to commercially
produced DVDs. If we are only gaining 1 or 2 yrs. It may not be worth the
effort.
2) Considering that Dazzle produces DVD in realtime, are there other low
cost solutions to this that are worth testing?
3) Is there any mechanism to successfully converting internationally
recorded videotapes? Again we will be careful of copyright. We have a number
of Israeli films.
Thank you,
Kathy
