A Film Quality Digital Archiving & Editing System

Winston Hodge, Bill Harvey, Robert S. Block

Film archiving of commercial theatrical motion picture film has not been as successful as it was believed it was going to be. Continuing degradation of film quality over time has represented serious loss to the major motion picture studios. This article is a proposal to rectify these deficiencies using new digital technology using advanced state of the art image processing and database technology. Furthermore, because of the similarity of a digital archiving and a very high resolution editing system, consolidation of those features is discussed.
