Didn't notice who I was replying to as you're usually in my killfile. And
thanks for reminding me why.

Film offers all sorts of possibilities.

You didn't really understand my comment, did you?


When ITV was a 'proper' organisation, their labs at Teddington Studios
were developing a system for storing digitally TV colour pics and
stereo sound on 16mm B&W film - which is a cheap material for
archiving,

** 10, 000s times more expensive than CDs or DVDs - you asinine
pommy twit.

And if those archived CDs don't work anymore when needed?

What does 4 hours of film cost - you IDIOT !!

You obviously have no idea of the possible value of an archived TV
program. It might sell for thousands of times the value of the stock.

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

** ROTFLMAO !!

Try reading and understanding my original post. It's not too hard even for
the likes of you. As a concept, obviously. Not the theory of how it works
- way beyond you.

What an arrogant, know nothing, POMMY MORON !!

I'm delighted to be thought as such by you.
