I had a professor come to me a video tape that had been made in 1990. The tape had suffered over the years and the quality degraded significantly. The professor wanted to know if we had a way store the tape digitally to prevent further degradation, perhaps on a DVD. The Instructional Design Center at Willamette does not have a DVD burner, and at present costs for both burners and DVD media, it is unlikely we will have one any time soon. I started looking around and discovered something that has been pretty much overlooked in the United States: Video CDs. Video CDs were the precursors to DVDs. You can make then on regular, everyday Recordable CDs and they hold a little over an hour of VHS quality video (and CD quality audio). They are fairly straightforward to make and particularly well suited to archiving.
