Breakdown of all files per type

General Notes

• All video files with basic metadata (88 interviews) ingested June, 2013. Additional metadata (abstracts, subjects, duration, etc) will be added at later date

• Source formats of mpg and mp4 will be considered as the "master" version. Source .mts files required transcoding video codec and tweaking the audio codec to a higher volume. 

• There are on average 5 videos per item

• Part of QC review process is to determine if all video files are legit interviews and if not to remove from inventory (for example, sometimes during recording process, short test videos were created) 

• Currently average 18 Images per item : However some of these jpegs files are really text and need to be converted to PDF . For actual images (portraits of interviewees) the plan is to select best image or two if they are all very similar. Amanda will work on manual selection and conversion of text and images - July 2013
