Actually, we conducted an interview Ian Henderson of the UK National Archives last December. The notes are here: https://github.com/MediaArea/MediaConch/blob/master/Interviews/InterviewHenderson.md. He discusses the reason for selecting FFV1 and Matroska for various preservation purposes. Within the interview he actually discusses issues related specifically to the standardization of these formats.

> http://www.vancouverarchives.ca/2011/10/a-day-in-the-lives-of-2-archivists-gone-digital/ and https://wiki.archivematica.org/Media_type_preservation_plans are additional relevant examples.

Peter Bubestinger has drafted a list of FFV1 users on wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFV1#List_of_institutions_known_to_use_FFV1.

Additionally Indiana University is undertaking a large scale campus-wide digitization effort and recently selected FFV1 and Matroska.

The formats are in use in large scale digitization efforts in television archives in Europe. See http://www.tvbeurope.com/rtv-slovenia-installs-noa-systems-2/ and https://news.creativecow.net/story/876820. Also the call for proposals for the next FIAT/IFTA World Conference leads their call for proposals on “Archives and technology evolution” with the question “Is FFV1 the new JPEG2000?” See: http://fiatifta.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/call-for-presentation-world-conference.pdf

As FFV1 and Matroska are finding increased implementations, archives are increasingly invested in furthering the standardization of these formats.

I am happy to play that role. :)
