Course Details

Learn about the preservation of digital records that were created in or converted to one of many AV formats. We’ll discuss audio and video digital file structures, outline format standards (both defacto and dejure), reveal tools that can be used, describe workflows and migrations, and offer exercises that students can do on their own. Example workflows from existing systems and various software will also be addressed. Sample audio and video files are provided for use with self-directed exercises.

Upon completion of this course you'll be able to:

  • Identify preservation strategies specifically related to audio and video formats
  • Prove introductory experience with technical issues regarding specific formats you may encounter
  • Outline the process of developing workflows that apply to your own personal or professional environment
  • Demonstrate format conversion techniques through self-directed exercises
