OK, to set the record straight about the film stuff, as that is my background: Yes, film is archival safe, given a few assumptions. First, that it is processed correctly. Basically the vinegar syndrome is film that is still developing - it wasn't washed properly at the lab before it was released. It is chemicals trapped in the film stock that are still continuing to develop the film. Second, that it is good film stock - Eastman stock (the type that Star Wars was shot on) was horrendous, as far as fading. Not that all Eastman film is bad (a Kodak company), but that the type of film called "Eastman" is bad - it came out in the '70s (IIRC) and is incredibly prone to fading. The colors all fade to red - not desirable in most films. :)
