[game_preservation] Blog about Video Capture project

[Henry Lowood]

All,
Ok, I have some data. Not up to the current date, but specifically with 
regard to 5.25" media in the collection.
 From the first 499 pulls, there were 10 read errors. Of the 490 
remaining items, 9 were unmountable after imaging.  So 19 failures out 
of 499.
That's 3.8% as a failure rate for the data pulls.
