Interview with Video Preservationist Peter B

Here's an interview with Peter B, someone working in professional analog video preservation, as well as audio engineering. After watching his video on FFV1, I reached out and hoped he'd discuss his hands-on experience and add some perspective for those of us archiving VHS and other analog media. I really enjoyed the conversation and think any preservationists, or people serious about digitizing analog media will enjoy it. Peter also emailed a TON of great info after the interview, which I pasted into the main post here: https://www.retrorgb.com/interview-with-video-preservationist-peter-b.html

If you'd like some context for everything we discussed, I suggest checking out my videos on scaling home movies, as well as capturing them in 480i, capturing direct to HD...and even the podcast I did with Dan about 480i video. We definitely went into this with the expectation that most people listening would have some video capture knowledge, but if you're just learning, checking those out along with this will really help bring you up to speed. This stuff is really confusing, so try not to get intimidated by it all - If I can figure it out, you can too! :)Please consider supporting this channel via monthly support services, tips, or even just by using our affiliate links to purchase things you were already going to buy anyway, at no extra cost to you: ⁠https://www.retrorgb.com/support.html⁠T-Shirts: ⁠https://www.retrorgb.com/store.html⁠All equipment used to shoot this video can be found here: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/shop/retrorgb
