I just want from a quality film to last a few decades without obvious degradation.
Fair enough, though I guess you'll be smart to archive things digitally these days.
I mean - even if your negs still look great in some decades - there most likely will hardly be any chemicals / paper left to enlarge them the traditional way, and it even if there is it will cost you a fortune.

Thank you for the swift reply.
Well, I am not agonizing that the posterity would be impoverished if some of my negatives degrade (I am sure they will find ways to fix them if deemed of any value), I just want from a quality film to last a few decades without obvious degradation.
As for the similar venture in the past I meant the Seattle Film works conversion of cinema film, commercially available in the end of 1980s/ beginning of the 1990s. Some information about that (and a lot more technical details) in the APUG thread
