VIDEOS IN THE AGE OF YOUTUBE
VIDEO IN GOVERNMENT
• Agencies create content
• Some make it to youtube
• Some become PR material
• How is that content being archived
• How do you get the content?
• What tools are available?
• Some capture with camera
• Some capture with smartphone &
upload
• 3rd party sites increasing important to
archive content
• Have to have faith that we can archive
and playback
HOW DO THEY CAPTURE AND SHARE VIDEO
• Embed as part of html
• On Youtube Account
• Can be difficult to capture and
playback
WHERE DO THEY PUT IT?
USING OUTSIDE VENDORS
Archive-it—”The original page contains a video here but multiple inline videos per page are
not yet supported
REALITY
• Reality is: we will get both. So, some work arounds:
• Vendor developed tools:
• Archive-it
• ArchiveSocial
• Homegrown tools—ArchVid
FILE FROM EXTERNAL DRIVE TRANSFER
DEVELOPMENT OF TOOL
• Needed to identify video content
• Needed to have a way for archivist to appraise and select videos
• Once selected, need to find a way to automate the normalization.
• Much discussion about what is the “normalized” file format
THE TAIL OF AN AGENCY CLOSING
ORIGINAL VIDEOS
• Be able to point a tool to find videos in
a transfer
• Automate as much as possible
metadata extraction and file
normalization
• Be able to export the metadata into
another system
CONCEPT
TOOLS LEVERAGED
• Jhove--Metadata and Identification
• Mediainfo--Metadata and Identification
• FITS--Metadata and Identification
• FFMPEG--Transcoding and metadata writing
ARCHVID--ALPHA
LESSONS LEARNED
• AVI file format is lossless but huge storage hog
• Need to rethink our preservation format—when is good good enough
• Potential conflict with Java used for Bag-It
• Tool is fairly easy to use
• Should perform on a machine that does not have anything else running
• Developer:
• Jeremy Gibson
• Kelly Eubank
