Some chef's kiss film leader transferred to a UMATIC tape that I digitized. This was a pile of tapes destined for a discard bin someone bought from a recycler.

@textfiles Have you ever published your tape archival workflows?

I'm pretty happy with my DV & yadif=1 h.264 but certainly better is possible. I want to make these resources more available so we lose less visual information as a society. Even pros continue to get it wrong

@bobbyd0g The "get it wrong" line tells you why I don't tend to write more stuff about it.

@textfiles As in, there's no right way to do it, or that you'll get undue "corrections"? I was sort of vaguely referring to the decades-prevailing industry standard of drop-field interlacing, which halves both motion and optical resolution.
