Hi,
I've been working on recording and uploading video to Commons lately,
and I'm wondering what to do with the original files that my camera
recorded (in a proprietary format unfortunately).
So, is WebM/VP8 suitable for long-term archival? Or does it make sense
to backup the original files for use later down the road?

You are always going to lose a certian amount of quality when
transcoding so generaly you want to hang onto the original if
possible.
