rillianThe Xiph.Org Foundation has for many years hosted a collection of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/lossless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lossless</a> audio and video test clips to support the compression research community.Unfortunately, that server may be going away soon. I'm looking at various options to keep the data online, but I wondered if it would be appropriate to upload a copy to <a href="https://mastodon.archive.org/@internetarchive" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@internetarchive</a> The current collection is around 20 TB.If so, what would be a good format? For clips originating in yuv, ffv1 or lossless vp9 compression is probably a good choice. (Uncompressed is usually best for benchmarking, but people can extract on their own.) Downloading multi-GB files is easier than it used to be. However, the highest quality for some clips are directories of png, tiff, or exr files. Not sure what to do with those. Tar them up? Will archive.org fall over if I upload 20,000 files as part of the same object?<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/digipres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digipres</a>

Sharon McMeekinSo, with the release of the job ad below, the cat is out of the bag. After nearly 14 years, I will be leaving the DPC in a couple of weeks. It was a tough decision to make but I'm excited to take on some new challenges (more on that coming soon...)I'll probably take some time soon to reflect on the last 14 years but in the meantime, if anyone is interested in the post and wants to hear more about what it entails, just give me a shout!<a href="https://www.dpconline.org/news/job-vacancies/hgp-hwd-dpc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.dpconline.org/news/job-vacancies/hgp-hwd-dpc</a><a href="https://digipres.club/tags/digipres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digipres</a>

Steve ZakulecOne of the car stereos I use has the strangest bug: Any <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/m4a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#m4a</a> file over 4:30 (4 minutes, 30 seconds) will skip for a second at 4:30, play for another 30 seconds or so, then just go onto the next track. Music from <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/iTunes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iTunes</a> or things from YouTube make no difference. Simply copying from .m4a to .aac with <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ffmpeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ffmpeg</a> avoids this issue. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/digipres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digipres</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/aac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aac</a>

Jez 🍞🌹<a href="https://fedihum.org/@lavaeolus" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@lavaeolus</a> For me personally, preserving a copy of the underlying dataset is priority number 1, because at least you have half a chance of reconstructing something from that. Then the source code of the site, which can either be used directly or at least give insight into the logic. The latter is definitely one for <a href="https://mstdn.social/@swheritage" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@swheritage</a> Neither of those captures the lived experience of using a web application though, which can be important in some instances.<a href="https://digipres.club/tags/SafeguardingResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SafeguardingResearch</a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/DigiPres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DigiPres</a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/Archiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Archiving</a>
