Can't do that. Archives demand the highest quality source material. Lossy processes cannot be reversed.

It's better to have a lossy copy than no copy.
What are you trying to archive? Is it the words the person is saying, or the arrangement of his freckles? Even the lowest video quality is sufficient to convey all of the information content of most videos. Sometimes the audio alone is sufficient.
