Support for historical reasons, of course, and because I like it. High EV, it helps understand traffic in former times. --

Support – Interesting slice of life at a time when the U.S. was transitioning from horses to cars. Very good res. for the period – much better than, for example,
this 1909 footage of Mark Twain.

Though I do think it's a bit of a shame that so much additional digital compression is added to archival digital transfers of analogue film stock. Treated as a series of stills this would not be acceptable. Much larger file sizes and higher resolutions would be preferable for any analogue to digital transfer, whatever the perceived quality or age of the original.

There is
DVD quality version (Quicktime, 2.3 GB) on IA. It would interesting to make a free codec version out of that. I have neither the processing power not the bandwidth necessary for that. Regards,

I downloaded the 2.3GB version and it is a lot better:
File:Market street comparison.jpg. It seems to me to be a bit troubling promoting the current version when they is a substantially better free version easily available for want of transcoding. I think I can transcode and upload it myself but it would take some time. If anyone with more bandwidth, computing power and expertise wants to step into the breach feel free.

@
Wolftick: I think you could simply upload over this one. If it is the same film, I don't see an issue with this FP nomination, or the need to keep an old version if we have a better one. Regards,

Comment I have a much nicer webm version of this based on the high quality version on
archive.org. The compression on the current version is really horrible and damaging when viewed in direct comparison (
File:Market street comparison.jpg). I was wondering what the policy/practice on uploading large (≈1GB) videos is?

It is supported, through the chunked uploads script. —
