Do you all mix/master using Loudness Based Metering? If so, what are your standards and what is your process?

I come from the generation that has most of their childhood moments archived on the bevy of visual tape media like VHS, Hi-8, Digital 8, MiniDV, etc. Now that most of those devices are either at death's door or already dead, what are our options for archiving?

My parent's used a service licensed by Costco to do this a while back. Unfortunately, their end result was a DVD, which isn't all that much better, being a proprietary format that's hard to transcode and degrades over time. On top of that, there was some awful royalty free music on top of the silent sections.

Who does NPR use to transfer old visual tape formats to digital files? Or do you do it in-house?
