Long-term storage of video files is a job for specialists. When you order videos, however, you can require the providers to deliver them in durable formats. In principle, MKV' is the most durable format for storing video. MXF, AVI and MOV are other durable formats. File formats for audio and video are simply containers for the audio and video streams, so it's important to determine how audio and video need to be encoded. FFV1 coding is generally chosen within the archive and heritage sector. For audio streams, LPCM coding is recommended. Make sure that neither the file format nor the audio and video stream are compressed. This often results in large files (for FFV1: 45-50 GB per hour of video!), so use it primarily for valuable videos in which a lot has been invested.
