What shall we do with analog audio? Sample at
44.1KHz / 16-bit PCM and call
it done? What about Laserdisc video? It's straight composite analog video,
which could be digitized at a standard rate for reproduction. Yes these
corner cases matter, if we are doing a truly multiformat media archive
storage architecture. (Dragon's Lair anyone? Voyager space mission disc?)
The Voyager disc was a record. - analog.
I say stick to 8 bit bytes for media - transfer programs can handle that.
Why not just record the real bit data and timing data, media is cheap.
