My current understanding is that there isn't a common DVD writer
standard at the moment. So you are going to be bound to a proprietary
DVD writer, which if it looses out and disappears from the means that
your backups are only as good as your device lives.
Stick to Cd for the really important stuff, especially stuff you might
want to access in 10 years+. Use a DVD for bulk if you like.
