I'm talking to him again now so I've got a few more details. He will deliver the video in DNG format and a separate sound track recorded through the Dolby processor. Apparently this comes to a maximum of 300 GB per reel. H2 is a 5 reel film so the final size should be somewhere around 1.5 TB.

I think I've now got all the information I need from both the seller and the scanner, so once we've cleared up the whole donations issue we should be set to go! Exciting times!

Ha ha, yeah it's pretty beefy, I'll have to get a new external HDD to send him, but at least I know we'll be getting the footage in the best quality to work with. Obviously finished restorations won't be that size.

Those 1.5 TB are the uncompressed size. You can actually reduce it to less than a half of that by compressing the raw files, without losing functionality.
But yeah you'll need to send him a drive either way, or provide him money to buy one if he agrees.

Yeah, it'll be good to have the uncompressed versions for backup for any future versions, but it'll compress right down for an actual release.
I'll try and do the restoration work on the uncompressed files before rendering them to something more manageable for assembly.

Oh, I phrased myself poorly. That's lossless compression. Nothing gets lost in terms of quality.
