#avpres — Public Fediverse posts

Another week, another conference. This week I will be at the 3rd Global Audiovisual Archiving Conference #GAVA, with the amazing Thai Film Archive as host. My first time visiting this splendid institution in its complete form. My last trip here was when the 8 storey building was still under construction.

This week I'm at the 30th Southeast Asia-Pacific Audiovisual Archive Association conference in Ipoh, Malaysia. I was contemplating whether to use LinkedIn as the main place to post my conference musings, but somehow the idea of burst of small posts over there doesn't really pass my vibe check. So digipres.club is still the more appropriate place. Maybe only highlights on LinkedIn.

Retro AV event at the library today - a chance for students (or anyone!) to push buttons and learn about VHS, audio cassettes, records, MiniDV camcorders, and film. (Thanks to my colleague Natalie for making stickers with @ashley's illustrations!)

Book launch of Ray Edmondson: The Troublemaking Professional, published by SEAPAVAA. Short presentation by Sanchai Chotirosseranee, Deputy Director, Thai Film Archive, and Treasurer of SEAPAVAA.

Notes: Ray's AV Archiving philosophy & principles was my compulsory reading on my first day of work

Day 1 of #JTS2026. After the welcome to country by Ngunnawal Elder Dr Aunty Caroline Hughes AM, we have Patrick McIntyre, NFSA CEO, welcoming us to #JTS2026. Highlighted the complexity of the preservation of born digital audiovisual materials.
Note: this is where #AVPres intersect directly with #DigiPres

Made some updates to https://github.com/ninarao/webvtt_metadata:

- Can now embed #FADGI #metadata in #WebVTT files using a csv, header data from an associated parent file, and/or an optional default metadata set
- Local usage elements can be added to the csv as needed
- Can create/update FADGI header for WebVTT files that have been human-reviewed

Feedback welcome! I've tested for various scenarios but there are many nested conditionals so I may have missed something.

Congrats also to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution! (as a Massachusetts native, I have been in awe of them since childhood)

Realized that in my current workflow, every field in the #FADGI WebVTT #metadata except two can be auto-generated or hard-coded, so I made a script that runs #Whisper, generates FADGI metadata and optionally pulls the last two fields from a csv, and adds it to the output. It's written for use at my institution but could be easily adapted:
https://github.com/ninarao/whispervtt

(I also learned that Whisper via Python uses greedy search by default instead of beam, so I adjusted that too.)

Did someone had issues with #MXF video files from #DavinciResolve 20? There's a global alarm in film libraries / #videoarchives on dead frames and color information loss. If so, have you used #qctools to detect it?

thnx! : :clippy:

Ok #avpres question. We recently digitized an old umatic tape with a documentary on it. Only one audio stream in stereo with the left side being English and right side being Vietnamese. Currently the MKV only has English for the audio stream. Without splitting the audio stream into two, what is the best way to manage the technical metadata? #digipres

Now: Super stoked to virtually attend #iPRES2024 workshop - Preservation of audiovisual content: strategies and cases of #FIAT/IFTA serendipitously. Notes: Charles Fairall (BFI) shared their RFP criteria, reminding us to not forget about the human element. Now Miroslav Čuljat (RTÉ) sharing their SIP structure. The need for MD5 checksum was questioned initially. Later proven to be useful when network transfer produced checksum mismatched. #iPRES2024 #DigiPres #AVPres

Fun question at #nttw8 for Peter Wobser. If you had an important tape you needed you to transfer, would you rather go back in time or into the future to get the best migration? #digipres #avpres
