Re: [AV Media Matters] DVD as Storage Medium
Lisa
The Mitsui Gold is the best CD/DVD for long-term storage. If you
store Mitsui Golds at normal room environment, I believe they will
survive for many decades. They will probably outlast the equipment
which will be obsolete in a few years. I have ten year old 5 inch
floppies but no way to play them.
A cool/dry environment is always preferred for archival material.
But for Mitsui Golds, I believe any reasonable room environment will
be okay.
A potential problem is that of Interchange. Make sure that your
CD-Rs and DVD-Rs will play on machine made by other manufacturers.
