If they are going to be zooming in tight on the scan, then that would
be a good reason for the higher resolution.

I think they have their measurements mixed up. First of all dpi or ppi  
is a printer's measurement system. It is meaningless for video.  
Standard HD resolution is 1920×1080 px. Note that the units are  
pixels, not pixels per inch.

We have a patron in Britain who wants some scans for a documentary they're 
putting together.  They're asking for 1200dpi (or ppi, as people are now 
using).  I know they have the PAL system over there, but does it really require 
that high a resolution?  I do video editing in NTSC in Final Cut, & find 
600dpi/ppi overkill.
