Before I send him my answer, I thought I would get some opinions from
all of you out there. What do you think of my answer? What would you

I think this is a very good analysis!
The biggest problem with videotape moving forward may be supply. Many
of the manufacturing lines have been shut down - we saw the result of
this when the Sony plant that makes most of their modern tape formats
was shut down after the Tsunami decimated Northern Japan.
Archival storage is still a major issue, but linear tape is not very
good at random access once the files have been written. Optical seems
to be a viable option, but disk arrays are fast and cheap.
