I've had some dvds (DVD+R or DVD-R types) report read errors when I went to check them after a couple of years. It seems the physical media is not as stable as originally advertised.

They would not survive a fire, but they are compact so you can send a copy to a relative for safekeeping. I suspect that they would survive flooding. Maybe we will still have dvd drives in ten years! Otherwise we will have to copy the archives onto whatever new media comes up. > Cheers -- Rick >
