Many businesses never think about their old training media.  They never give them a second thought after making everyone watch them when they’re first produced.  Well, things happen while you’re NOT watching them.  Their quality fades, sometimes fading away completely.  And, it doesn’t matter whether it’s film or video tape.

You may think leaving them untouched preserves them but it doesn’t.  They can actually go bad just sitting there.  Of course, hot storage locations can make them go bad much quicker, but in order to keep them in a viewable condition, you must transfer them to newer, more up-to-date media.  Especially if the training is still relevant.  Doing this keeps the accessible for your team.  This may seem like a lot of trouble, constantly updating the media on which these valuable items are stored, but it’s not really.  And, it doesn’t cost that much when you consider that your investment will be preserved.  If the training needs to be updated, we can help with that too.

Converting any type of film or video to DVD (our current preservation media) should be done as soon as possible.  Each day you delay only causes more degradation in quality.  Many films and several tapes have already been lost to the ravages of time and temperature.  Should you have any questions about how to go about this process, we are available at http://mousetown.com.
