[game_preservation] Blog about Video Capture project

[Dyson, Jon-Paul]

Andreas,

The project is still in process so I'm not in a position to share final numbers or specific breakdowns by system/material type but so far of the more than 7800 pre-2005 games we've tested there has been an initial failure rate of around 2.75%. That reflects some degree of remediation (e.g. cleaning and retesting) but not extensive work on games to see if we can make them work.

Henry might have some numbers to share from his new imaging project. Henry do you have numbers?

Hi JP,
this is great news. Congratulations to that important project! Which systems/ media will you use? Specially I am interested in the percentage of the not working games, which are stored on magnetic media...
