Dear Members:
I am about to archive images to optical media and in light of recent debates
surrounding the issue of CDs x DVDs in terms of reliability I decided to do
some research first before choosing the media for the job.
Although I've done some basic research on the internet it is hard to know
what sites provide reliable and trustworthy information that can be fully
trusted.
Do any of you have information to share on the benefits of using CDs and
DVDs as long term storage media ? Which one is the best at this time ? I
understand CDs are more "universal" and the data is not quite as compressed,
but since DVDs are tempting due to their much greater storage capacity in
the same physical space, I would like to know how reliable they are (more
error prone than CDs ?) and how long they are expected to last compared to
CDs.
Do you have information on the differences between the two media ? Would you
suggest any specific web site that offers detailed and reliable informaition
on the subject ?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Joseph Chamberlain
