Talk:Film preservation

message: The article states that a digital copy is equal to an analog original with our current progressing technology. Can someone find a source that verifies this?

replies: text: I think that is what the "Digital Nitrate" project would like to see, a digital format that holds all the richness of a film image as recorded on the old slow siver rich emuslions that were used in the days of Nitrate film - see Digital_Nitrate_Prize  - in other words not yet.  cmacd 13:32, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What I can state here is the fact that modern film stocks bring resolution, better: resolving power, of up to 700 line pairs per millimeter in black and white, up to 400 in colour, which is more the double of what the best lenses might yield. The new picture generation is no more introducing any grain. The only important point to be carefully observed is the contact between the to-be-saved material and the raw stock. Then, the image is transferred as a whole, photographic-full-surface. Since there is already thin-base film available, a 1000-foot thin-film duplicate will have the size of some 400 to 500 foot of traditional stock. This is the future. 80.219.135.92 19:07, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Its silly to list restored films. Every film with a restored scene in the director's cut has been "restored". It would be easier to list ones not restored. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: List of restored films

message: Can anyone point ot a source for the following, found under the section "Film Decay"?
Cellulose acetate film, which was the initial replacement for nitrate, has been found to suffer from vinegar syndrome. Indeed the preservation of color films has now been found to involve a compromise, because low temperatures, which inhibit color fading, actually increase the effects of vinegar syndrome, while higher (normal room) temperatures cause color fading.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.186.80.1 (talk) 19:00, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Of course this is related to conservation-restoration. It is an act of preservation. How could one possible argue with this?--RichardMcCoy (talk) 17:55, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I'm omitting this section in its entirety for no publications/websites exist at the moment, and is is written much like an advertisement.
It would be great if anyone could find any sources should any new references surface, and post them here. Whisternefet (talk | contribs) 10:48, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Moving Image Collections (MIC)

message: Someone might want to expand on long-term storage of the original master films, such as storage at Underground Vaults and Storage at a salt mine in Hutchinson, Kansas and other similar places.   The one in Hutchinson is the "largest single storage facility for movie and television film internationally", see .  • Sbmeirow • Talk • 06:04, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Long-term master-film archive storage 

message: Like MIC discussed above by Whisternefet, the section 9 Video Aids to Film Preservation is soapboxy and largely unverified except by self-referencing. I think it needs to be reduced to a more generic treatment (if suitable third-party sources are found) or else scrapped altogether. Thoughts? Bjenks (talk) 10:03, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
