When I digitize stuff I used MKV because it was a format that was resilient to whatever program that created it crashing in the middle of creation. Mkv is segmented and doesn't need anything to be written about the entire file. It's just small sections kind of stitched together. In my opinion this is what you should digitize to initially and then if you need other codecs then transcode later.

    One time I was walking through our production floor and saw a 20 ton crane where the wire rope wasn't in the grooves on the cable spool while the crane had a 15 ton ladle of molten iron hanging from it. Definitely not safe for work. What was funny is that the safety guy was the crane operator that night because they were short staffed, and I was the backup.

    Now grant access to someone you've never met but then revoke that access after a some time without involving another person or machinery in the process. You also have to do it while you're on vacation in another country and not physically present.
