The Digital Bits is pleased to
present you with Yellow Layer Failure,
Vinegar Syndrome and Miscellaneous Musings, a regular
column by Robert A. Harris.
Robert is a highly respected film producer, historian and
preservation expert, who has been responsible for some of the most
important work to save and restore our favorite classic films. In
his column, Robert will be addressing a number of topics related to
the past, present and future of home theater. He'll talk about film
preservation, various technical and quality issues related to film
and DVD, aspect ratios and a host of other subjects.
I hope you'll all join us in welcoming him and in supporting our
continuing efforts to expand the breadth of general knowledge of
film issues. And you should know that each column will tie into
discussion treads over at
The
Home Theater Forum (which has long been the official DVD
discussion group of The Bits)
to create an ongoing community of thought on these issues.
So select from the list of columns below and enjoy!
