ALL TRANSFERS ARE NOT EQUAL!
Your media should be captured or scanned at resolutions equal or higher than its original specs. While it can be overkill to transfer at resolutions far exceeding the original quality, you want to be sure the transferred file or disc is not lower in quality. Your memories should not just be transferred but archived.
