When ITV was a 'proper' organisation, their labs at Teddington Studios
were developing a system for storing digitally TV colour pics and stereo

projected life if properly stored of over 100 years. ISTR it was capable
in theory of handling HDTV too.

Do you have any idea what the time ratio was - how many minutes of
digital they could store on how many minutes (when used normally) of
film?

I don't but will try and find out.
