Re: archiving P2 cards

Yeah, I've actually heard similar things with regards to CD-R's failing after about 5 years.

As I said, this info is not at all definitive... And worse, is probably mostly speculative. Hell, DVDs have barely been around long enough to be able to live up to its claim of 10-30 years... And we'll have to wait 100 years to find out if Blu-ray lives up to its claim!

I think it also depends on the type of DVD-R you get as well. I believe there are specialist archive-grade DVDs around. Though my pricing was based on a standard spindle of 50 DVD-Rs.

Also, one thing I forgot to mention was that I've been warned off Dual-layered DVDs... apparently they're even more unreliable and more prone to data loss than DVDs. Also, I've just realised that I had "+R" in my original post... My pricing was actually based on "-R"... not sure if that makes any difference...?
