our best bet. While I'd like to believe that DVD-R media has the
same permanence, my problems with DVD players successfully reading
movies and such makes me suspicious. It could be that DVD is just
"pushing" the technology a bit.
You should read up on DVD technology. DVD-ROM has 1.32x the
Reed-Solomon error-correction of CD.
