Archiving Format for Video
Okay, so what's the appropriate archive format to use for video?
I'm sticking with my DNG workflow for digital stills, for a number of reasons; and I'm in the process of switching from PDF to XPS for digital documents (for a similar set of reasons that I really should find the time to articulate here). But what should I be doing with the little video clips we're increasingly using to capture digital memories? Currently these clips are in a combination of formats, depending on which device happens to get used: AVI and MPEG-4 , with FLV used when sharing with friends and family. Should I be storing these in some other format?
Humm, one to ponder...

For now I would probably archive in the original format although AVI files with some esoteric codec could become hard to play in the future if the codec goes missing(as I've found with stuff i shot on a camera phone 3 years ago). Alternatively, you could use DIVX which a lot of my former colleagues swore by.
