Abstract: The French government has recently funded a cinema digitization program to help make past and current film catalogues available in digital form. The program stipulates that the digital assets be delivered in a dedicated open file format. An ad hoc committee has been formed at the request of the Centre National du Cinema to review the issue. The “IMF application 2 extended” seems a natural for implementing the program on a practical level. The application meets the requirements of a demanding workflow while preserving the highest quality for film. It also addresses the need for interoperability and the diversity of the film sources. On the other hand the conservation of cinematographic works has some consequences on the specifications of the format. In addition to recognized extensions of options to accept larger sizes of images and extended dynamic range, other topics are to be considered. The robustness of the encoding against bit rot as well as the need to carry uncomplete or deteriorated content has been examined.
