Before tape they had wire recorders. But wax cylinders were prehistoric! I acquired a large collection of wax cylinder recordings in digital form. When I have time I will upload more. https://archive.org/search.php?query=wax+cylinder+teoli

Night on Earth by Jim Jarmusch has full commentary by DP.

The Gold MAM-A DVD's were touted as an archival option for optical media. Well, they are marginally better than AZO silver DVD's, but not by much. In sun tests the AZO Silver DVD's died on average at 25 days of sun. The Gold MAM-A DVD's lasted 27 days in the sun. The old Kodak 100 years Gold DVD's lasted 33 days. The Kodak DVD's were the best I've tested other than M-Disc. But Kodak discontinued them long ago. Any current Kodak Gold production is said not to be the same as the original production. (But I have not tested them.) The Kodak Gold disc I tested was one of the last of the 2007 production. M-Disc on the other hand lasted a year in the sun with no issues whatsoever. Today I went to restock my inkjet printable 4.7gb M-Disc DVD's and they look to be discontinued. Even the branded non-printable M-Disc DVD are gone. All they have is Blu-ray M-Disc and the higher capacity multi- layer M-Disc. What a mess. I looked all over hell and nothing. Some people are selling a box or a handful here or there at inflated prices. I am a big user of the 4.7gb M-Disc with my archival work. Don't know if it is something temporary or not. But have gone back to the crummy Gold MAM-A discs and am saving my 73 remaining 4.7GB M-Disc for important projects. Gold discs don't suffer from disc bronzing as far as I can tell. Once your silver discs start bronzing, the writing is on the proverbial wall. Internet Archive Search: disc bronzing teoli M-Disc does not seem to suffer from disc delamination either. Internet Archive Search: DVD delamination teoli Gold discs are a better option that silver AZO discs, but in my opinion they are overpriced for what they offer.

Why don't they sell them? Are old machines, even if in working order, that worthless?

Wow, had no idea it was such a pain. Sounds like even in the best of times it was a problem child. What was the air used for? Was it to keep the film dust free?

When you are done with conforming to the specs, look at your final work on TV to see how it holds up. There are all sort of TV's, but generally the TV's boost the contrast and saturation. What looks good on my monitor, looks so-so on the TV. In the end I just have to make a good enough grade that is all-purpose. Other option is I have to make grades for various viewing options. Just because it conforms to specs does not mean you are happy with the results.

You may get flashes or artifacts with Nero. The Movavi software does the video great, but the sound is usually off synch. It puts a short gap near the beginning of the audio track. I wrote the Russians to ask why their software does not synch the audio when converting, but they are of no help. I have to cut the audio up and close the gap, then the synch is fine for the rest of the film. But it is a pain in the a. What MP4 converter do you use?

If you got a bunch of takes, how do you grade them for prospects or somehow mark them for hierarchy when editing?

I figured it might be for this reason and Google confirmed it... Why do studios use Roman numerals in the copyright notice in the end credits? - Movies & TV Stack Exchange

In the old days, on big productions, they did lots of lighting and film tests. This was done way before the actual shoot using stand-ins. Nothing was left to chance. Deakins said he did something like 56 takes for one scene in 1917. Nowadays you pick up a cam and boom you are in biz. It is not like the old days where you worked your way up. Times change. If you get a gig and are over your head, hire a consultant to help you out. Or do some tests!

Here is what can happen (or worse) to acetate film stored poorly or just from time.

You can download the various files to magnify and inspect how image quality varies with file size.) If you got some important film with vinegar that is decomposing, you put it on a core and vacuum pack it. Then store it in freezer. Freezing halts the decay. You can also reverse wind film to help with warping. But no magic bullet. And none of the film preservatives and restoratives I've tested seem to do much to fix VS. I got a fantastic old Kodachrome road trip film from 1948 I will have to freeze. It smells and is warping, makes me sick. You can get cheap vacuum packing machines at Walmart.

Here is an example of the old humidor film cans. They would saturate the absorbent material with camphor. Although some of the old films stunk of mothballs. Everyone had their own pet preservative to use. Internet Archive Search: humidor 16mm I have some more example of film can humidors, but need to get them photographed. I store my 16mm 100 - 200 foot reels in 5 x 5 x 1 inch white cardboard boxes. They don't make vented cans for them.

Boxes breath better. I use vented cans for degasing. For 8mm I use envelopes. The vented cans for 8mm are poor. Old timers would use humidor cans with blotter material inside saturated with camphor. I got some photos of them at the at the I.A..

Deakins has full commentary on Bluray of 1917. Also separate commentary by Director.

Could be original camera negs, but it is all processed film I deal with, not unprocessed. I think the filmmakers would just store the film in the original cans they came in or similar cans. (before and after processing.) Film shipping containers is an interesting filed of study, just like film reels. But I only go into it with small gauge films. Here is that heavy metal film shipper I talked about along with a lightweight fiber container from the 1950's.

OP, don't buy it. I'm not saying film may fluctuate some in price, but nothing dramatic as you seem to suggest. Silver is just a little part of film's cost. Remember silver skyrocketed in 1980s. Cost didn't kill film back then...digital eventually did. Silver Price History Silver Prices - 100 Year Historical Chart | MacroTrends

I just happened on this old post by chance from a search on a different topic. This little video I originally posted about was the start of a big project called Offshoots...a social documentary study of Instagram. But I had no idea of the direction I was going in. Things just started to come together after a while. Offshoots turned out to be a 6.25 hour film. But nobody wanted it as to the length. So I cut it down into their respective subject categories and had a little more success with placing bits and pieces of it. I think there were 60 or 70 smaller derivations and prelims from the full film. (I do have a 'artsy' sped up 10X version of the complete film at the link if you want to get a handle on the entire scope of the project.) Here are a few of the derivations from the 6.25 hour complete film.

But I enjoyed the project while I was doing it. I get roped into a lot of projects like that. If something hits me the right way, I am off. It comes under the auspices of the late photographer Garry Winogrand who said...The more I do...the more I do. Or as I say...one thing leads to another. And that was how the title Offshoots came about. The film sprouted from these simple first videos I made out of boredom while watching TV at night and that lead to all the rest.

Forgot to mention... All the film I am referring to is old school acetate. Modern film stock doesn't get VS.

All my film is processed film OP, so here is my perspective on it. I store my archival footage in vented plastic cans to minimize VS. Film can also be vacuum packed and frozen on cores. But that is what an archive may do with a problem child that has VS. Most people don't freeze film, although archives try to keep them cool. I ship films directly in metal cans or cans in cardboard boxes. The films shipped in cans direct are usually cheap films I am disposing of on eBay. If I wanted to get a scan I'd ship the can in a proper box. But either way no issues with shipping direct in cans. Just a cheapo way of doing it. If you ship the can direct there is a possibility of the can getting damaged and it wont open. Then the can gets ruined prying the lid off. In the old days they shipped films in film shippers made for that purpose. I have a large collection of them but have not digitized them all. Some were metal, fibre or plastic. Here is a small part of the collection from the reel and film can archive. Small Gauge Reel & Film Can Archive D.D. Teoli Jr. A.C. : Daniel D. Teoli Jr. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive I recently picked up a 35mm short film can that is built like a tank. Unbelievable. I bought it just to get a photo of it for my collection...and it was $$. I have some archival film that was processed and stored in the original cans / boxes they came in. It was common to ship out film for processing and store them like that.
