Nonono, save it all! Only a matter of time before they can be merged together to make a supercopy.
(But I get it: the practicality of saving even more data isn’t there)
- foobar1962 2y agoArchiving of broadcast material is rather difficult: should it be the final result that was shown over the air with all the overlays and graphics superimposed, or should it be the raw feeds? There is a board of people that make these decisions. For some program material there were low resolution copies, copies that were shortened for different purposes, copies that were edited for different markets... and so on. There was a decision tree to follow. There was also a "never to be shown again" list, usually where people that were involved in the program (either on-screen or part of the production team) were later associated with crimes or very unsavoury behaviour, or the material was in some other way extremely controversial.
