Me when I’m using FFmpeg to convert 3 FFV1 files to uncompressed and then back to FFV1. #nttw3

Yesterday 7 of the 30+ employees were laid off at the Academy Film Archive without notice. This included the Director & Head of Preservation who was one of the best managers I ever had. This feels like a death knell for the 3rd largest film archive in North America. (1/3)

The National Library of Ireland @NLIreland is delighted to be selected as the host for the 9th edition of the No Time to Wait conference in late 2025! 📅 The three-day event will bring together global experts to explore digital preservation practices. @nttwconf #nttw9

I believe this work was sponsored, and it is a good example of very unsexy and tedious work (read: cleaning up 20 years of tech debt) that can yield huge results, but would never usually get done if you're only working on something as a hobby. Pay people for the FOSS you use.

FFmpeg's own FFv1 codec has been added as a "Preferred Format" by the @librarycongress !

🚨PRESERVATION NEWS ALERT🚨 FFV1 in a Matroska Container has been added as a “Preferred Format” to the @librarycongress Recommended Formats Statements! Read more here in our blog post on The Signal: blogs.loc.gov/thesignal/2023…

Big thanks to all the folks who worked hard to make this happen. @cmhosale @SierraAndrea @fileformatology @dericed and others like Laura Davis and Rachel Curtis!

@treberney @AMIAnet 😭

Wishing all of my @AMIAnet colleagues a wonderful conference. It’s the first conference I’ve missed since 2013, I believe. Sending high-fives and hugs.

And we’re live in Prague and online! Opening this morning @dericed on how @nttwconf works! #nttw7

@digitensions @ACMI This is my favorite photo of me

Great to see a Paul Duchesne & Simon Loffler of @ACMI discussing their wikidata integrations with the ACMI website/collection at #NTTW7 - good recommendation to try openrefine.org for first steps into open data integration

@JeromeM78 @nttwconf You got the HDMI to HDMI-mini cable? 0:)

I hope that I forgot nothing for @nttwconf #NTTW7. See you Nov 8-10 in Prague.

See you in Prague or online! :D #nttw7 starts next week. All schedule times are Central European Time.
