This webinar was organised in celebration of World Audiovisual Heritage Day 2014. The recording focuses on standardisation efforts for broadcast file preservation formats and offers a real-life example of an audiovisual archive selecting its preservation format. In it, broadcast archive specialists lead you into the topic of file selection. For many archives in the digital domain a recurring question is what file formats to approve of and what file formats to standardsise to. Mr. Carl Fleischhauer from the Library of Congress and mr. Jörg Houpert from Cube-Tec give an introduction to the ongoing standardisation work in the field of the MXF AS-11 standard as an on-going archival standard for the MXF wrapper. Mr. Emanuel Lorrain from PACKED and Brecht Declercq from VIAA share their experiences and decision process of selecting file formats for the Flemish audiovisual collections.
