My concern isnt the preservation of Adobes Flash Player. Its concern for preserving the past creations. I could care less about the nuance provided the media is properly preserved and avaliable to the public. So far ive not seen a proper preservation method beyond keeping the flash files and giving them a more secure and modern way to be played.
If you want to preserve Flash Media. Just seal them in Carbonite and be done with it. I mean, I probably have some 8-tracks in my attic somewhere. They are fine where they are.
Anything that is worth preserving has already been converted. I'm pretty sure Homestar Runner has been converted to a video format.
Thats a matter of opinion.
As for converting games if you know something that does the job great you let me know.
As for being converted to new video format ive only seen flash videos have their video quality be downgraded. In clarity and often color. Often incomparable to the original that could be looped seamlessly or zoomed in effortlessly to clearly read some writing. The conversion also lacks anything interactive that the video might have had.
I get it you dont care if it all degrades or dies. I and others do.
Like I said. Linux Containers will do what you want. Containers are basically virtual systems without the virtuality.
So, you can create a container with all versions of everything set to their original 1978 configurations and run them on your system without skanking up your system (or anyone else's system) up with Flash.
If you really want to preserve Flash apps the correct way though, you should probably brush up on Linux Containers. This is the Carbonite you need.
I will look into it. Thanks.
