I'm not the least concerned about that. I have three copies of
everything and have already moved them to newer media several times. I
doubt I'll live more than another 20 years and I can still read the
floppy disks of 1987 on my existing computers and even further back if I
wanted to (but I don't want to). I think the image formats will be
supported for long, long after I'm gone.
As a matter of fact I keep a separate copy other than in my house just
in case the house should catch fire. Your film won't survive a fire.
