This article by Duncan Burbidge in the latest Ariadne (Issue 47, April 2006) describes the workflow used by the FP6 PrestoSpace Project to digitize and process video media. Specifically, it discusses:

• Tracking the process of digitisation from tape to fully indexed archive;
• The encoding technology behind the system;
• Storage of the archive;
• Encoding formats that are available; and
• A conclusion on the whole process.

A very neat article. Lots of geeky detail.
