Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

I'm going to archive some youtube videos, what's the proper way to change it from mp4 to webm to etc etc or vice versa?

In the past when I couldn't run a video file for whatever reason I would just rename the file, but I'm assuming there's better ways to do it. And is there a specific order I have to go in? (e.g. with audio going from .mp3 to .flac doesn't make sense.)

Thanks in advance.
