I think this is fine, but I'm thinking about including stuff like betamax as well. If we are talking plain media dumps, then I had the untouched
/ discs
/ raw
folders. Whatever you wanna call it, but it can include any 1:1 copies. The problem with VHS is that you cannot really have a 1:1 copy, because it's analog (unless it's Digital VHS
). I would probably create a discs
and tapes
folder and have it like this:
video/
discs/
dvd
bd
...
tapes/
vhs
betamax
...
or just all in one folder:
video/
untouched/ | raw/ | dump/
dvd
bd
vhs
betamax
...
Worth reading:
In the last overview it becomes clearer that there are currently 4 major types of our "untouched" media formats:
(magnetic) tapes
, (optical) discs
, virtual (files)
and film
The video
section is often divided in media for consumption and media for archival.
I would either move the "untouched" media out of the video dir and into archive/video/<tape|disc|virtual|film>
or create a dedicated directory within video/
for the <raw|untouched|master>
media.
Naming wise, it depends a bit on your content as well. If you want to keep the original files of your RED camera that you used for shooting a movie, then MASTER and RAW is more appropriate. If we talk about simple BD50 dumps, then DUMPS or UNTOUCHED may be more fitting.
I think I will extend this PR with this information.. Simply putting vhs
inside video
is too simple though. It's just 1 type of tape that became popular, but there is so much more.
I would go with the first one since it allows more easy access and is more intuitive. Also it doesnt change the current order of data.
I'm merging this for now and will adjust the structure as mentioned above. Thanks for contributing!
