“Unfortunately, there is no foolproof system for digitization, nor has the terminology for the identification and diagnosis of these errors been standardized. The Compendium of Image Errors in Analogue Video is the first publication to approach the latter in a systematic way. . . . While the descriptions are more than adequate, the authors have thoughtfully included real-life examples on an accompanying DVD. . . . The Compendium is most appropriate for media conservators and preservationists in the process of cataloging, assessing, or digitizing their video holdings. However, it is also an excellent resource for librarians, archivists, curators, and students interested in the technical background of analog media.”
