I'm giving a talk on this very subject (archiving multimedia, with a 
slant towards the demoscene since it's a demoscene party I'm giving the 
talk at) and one thing I'd like to stress is to *always* keep the 
original somewhere, for hopefully obvious reasons.

Just wanted to get that out while the discussion is still hot :-)
