I think something might be getting lost in translation. Could she have meant “electronic” rather than “digital” (which to me suggests digital media such as DVD etc)
This whole anecdote makes more sense to me with this substitution.
- atoav 7y agoShe was refering to both, she said they have similar problems with CDs and even stuff on hard disks, because often the used Video Codecs are hard to get running without the right knowledge and resources, especially because some of the non-consumer-codecs were often also proprietary and sort of made fore specific plattforms, but I don't know too much on that, so take this as speculation.
- rusk 7y agoYes when you equate it with “both”it all makes more sense! Just that digital as I’m used to the term excludes the analogue stuff like VHS as well
