Capturing/Preserving Interview
The interview is taped by UCB staff.

At this point Harry used to send the description of the show via email to UCTV for data entry.

This process has been streamlined so that Harry has access to the UCTV database. Staff at UCTV have refined their database to include pulldown menus from which Harry chooses descriptive terms for each show.

UCTV also makes three versions of the original digital file.  The three versions are an edited DV version, a MPEG version, and a RealPlayer version.

UCTV outputs an XML record containing preservation descriptive metadata for the interview and preservation technical metadata for each of the content files. This forms the first SIP for preservation.
