Technical and preservation considerations
- Upload high-bitrate files for preservation; the Archive creates streaming derivatives automatically.
- Retain a record of source condition and any restoration steps taken (denoise, color correction).
- Use lossless archival masters (e.g., WAV for audio stems) alongside compressed video for access.
