I'd thought of that myself, digitally capturing the raw waveform somehow and not bothering with standards conversion until it's convenient. How about splitting the 2 MHz bandwidth video signal into, say, forty channels frequency-shifted down to 0-50kHz, and sampling them? Could equipment designed for music recording be modified to do this?
Optical conversion is too poor in quality to be considered properly saving the material. The best option at the moment is to copy the recording to Umatic tape until a converter becomes available.
