Oh I wanted to add that, I used to transfer home movies to digital and they too would occasionally have gone vinegar.
Acetate film is not dissimilar in it's composition to a newsprint comic book, all cellulose is primarily refined organic wood pulp. When comics break down they give off the same acids. Some 5o-year-old comics look great for their age, some are yellow and too brittle read. Storage conditions, breathing, and quality of the original material are all key.
