Hello, I'm setting up to archive family photo's for posterity but am getting conflicting info on Media Choices and on going between CDR or DVDR. I'm also not quite sure where to look for scientifically valid evaluations and reccomendations. My google searches and readings seem to be a mix of single source data sets (ie: personal experience!), press releases, 'flame wars', and esoteric descriptions of theories, methodologies, and technologies. I HAD been sold on using very high grade Media made with Gold for it's supposed 'Archival' nature and with CD because they were engineered (supposedly) for extravagent fault tolerance and ability to retrieve 'all' of one's data while DVD's were (supposedly) engineered so error's and missing data have minimal impact on the playing of video. ie: with frames a-b-c-d playing and frame c's data is missing the video stream calmly marches on the frame d. (Simplistic descripions I know, but I think fairly accurate).
I'm quite lost and am looking for a 'good' reference source! I am not looking for '100000' year durability, just serious confidence in making it 10-15years before revisiting this data for a 'media' or technology roll over.
