I would'nt mind raw tape loss if the guy has uncompressed avi. files. Wmv/mpeg at 3,5-4 kbps would be good too, that's just enough for online. But that's not enough if you ever want to sell the content on DVD market.

I agree with DWB though regarding the tapes. At least an uncompressed avi backup is a must nowadays, hard to believe someone 'd lost all tapes without even having a backup.
