Hi Perry:
It's a real problem. Modern movies are edited and in some cases sent to
theaters as digital data. Last I heard the specified lifetime of data
on a hard disk is 10 years (although probably much longer). It's very
expensive to transfer data every ten years to a new drive. Modern movie
prints are archival, but some earlier color movies are not. I've heard
that a small number of CD - DVD brands/models are archival quality.
Have Fun,
Brooke Clarke
