Nice. It looks like large tiffs, ogg video, djvu files and large jpegs are growing steadily. And those 1000 Dutch video clips make up ~12% of the current total. >> I am inclined to point people to special:uploadwizard, another fine > > The Upload wizard is currently suffering from critical bugs Ok.

In the case of museum-quality images, or images being restored, there might be ultra-high-res images available in an archive, which need to be converted to a web-suitable resolution. In the case of the Paley animation stills, I believe the original archival png's from her film were rejected on upload as being too high-resolution.
