DV Rescue is a free and open source project designed by archivists to support the preservation of the digital video family of formats. The work the DV Rescue team does to sustain, build upon, and document the software is vital to ensure the long-term survival of the tape format and the precious content contained. Please consider a direct donation to the project! A portion of the workshop proceeds will go to supporting the development and maintenance of DV Rescue.
