I was just dusting off a 1995 DV editing package—still runs on Windows 95. Made me think about how much we cling to old file formats—are they the fossils we need to preserve, or just relics of inefficiency?

Ah, the old DV package—good to see it still spitting out those uncompressed frames. File formats are like petrified trees; some are only here because we haven’t found a better root, others are just fossils we’re too afraid to cut down. Keep the ones that still speak to your workflow, but don’t hoard every single one; some of those relics are just entropy waiting to be stored.

Sounds like the right call—keep the ones that actually get you moving, ditch the rest before they become a full‑blown storage nightmare. And if you still keep that DV, consider it a vintage car: good for a demo, but not for daily road trips.

Yes, exactly. Keep the ones that still give you mileage and discard the ones that just gather dust in your archive. The DV drive is great for a showcase, but it’s not the vehicle for everyday editing. Keep it as a museum piece, and let the rest roam into the storage abyss.

That’s the perfect analogy—museum pieces for reference, but keep the rest in the archive where they belong.
