• Lots of exciting pre-conference activities are going on today: NAVCC visit and four workshops!

• MT @real_ajlawrence [AJ Lawrence]: Dino Everett explains [with body and soul] the pros and cons of auto load projectors

• Board meeting.
• RT @dericed [Dave Rice]: Wait, transferring 35mm film to paper prints is no longer "best practice". [ * insert sound of wax cylinder needle scratch * ]
• Open Source Committee keeps going, yeah!
• RT @mistydemeo [Misty De Meo]: Games are one of the most complex kind of multimedia to archive
• QC tools, built using lots of maths, can be very entertaining.
• Y & U & V, max, min, average, lo, hi
• The power of #opensource software tools serves quality control tools for video preservation (#QCTools). Great work in progress!
• RT @ponymeat [Nicole!]: Really excited about the video game preservation panel at 2pm. I’m looking to the complex world of gaming for inspiration!
• Nitrate is still alive! Most probably at the next #bastardfilm (in Raleigh in 2015) we will manufacture some.
• RT @dericed [Dave Rice]: It’s very important to keep your archival advocacy slogans cool … and dry.
• The new research by the University of Wisconsin on #nitrate film stock indicates that it is less dangerous as myths are pretending.
• The clips on nitrate combustion have been shot digitally. Sadly not on nitrate film stock…
• And now from nitrate to DCP.
• DSM > DCDM > DCP. DSM is not a format for archiving. DCDM can be used by the archive, but it is heavy. JPEG 2000 (DCP) is complex.
• There is the ISO/DIS 18943 standard about hard disk drive conservation.
• RT @mistydemeo [Misty De Meo]: Never, never, never accept an encrypted DCP
• Preserving DCP is do-able for archives, but it’s a complex task! Thank you @shirapeltzman [Shira Peltzman] for the clear presentation.
• The art of rebooting.
• RT @mistydemeo [Misty De Meo]: …we already had interoperability problems. Technology, ladies and gentlemen.
• Please don’t forget the opposite view.

• RT @gracelile [Grace Lile]: #amia13 #hackday projects are awesome, and especially fantastic to see so many women driving tech innovation
• It’s really a good thing to have improved the #FFmpeg documentation for the end user, realising a wiki on GitHub. Thanks a lot!
• Marsha Gordon presents Edison’s Home Kinetoscpe (22 mm with 3 different items on 1 media) – and Dino Everett runs it. Just amazing!
• Sadly I have to leave the EVR (= Electronic Video Recording) presentation… for an AMIA board meeting. See you at #orphans9
• Nitrate Committee meeting: we need justifications and scientific evidence for the changes on fire reglementations.
• You can build your one tape cleaner for as little as USD 137.

• How much is needed? 8 bit, 10 bit? What about an 1 bit depth scan?
• This is a good alternative to the Blackmagic SDK! RT @rufusderham [Rufus de Rham]: Bmdtools on GitHub
  https://github.com/lu-zero/bmdtools
• RT @ng_yvonne [Yvonne Ng]: In time that @avgeeks was talking, @dericed made capture in 4 formats, with frame level checksums, with his laptop
• There will be a film out onto 3 mm nitrate film. I guess. RT @rufusderham [Rufus de Rham]: Real question is who is archiving the #amia13 twitter feed
