That might be true. But each of these projects has been multiple years for completion.
I'm not saying it will be more than a few years for each one. But depending on the quality we get from the scans, and the quality of the prints, some could be less or more than that.
Codecs are always improving, and although h.264 has survived as the best quality for now. We will always be looking to the future, and for 4k and beyond when the time comes.
So the need to evaluate them will always be there.
