tests are starting to show that the current media which every one supposed was going to last 100 years in actually fact may not be read after 5 years

I did check out the Philips 8X available locally (here on the island of Saipan) for a rip-off price (don't even ask, but I just bought one). DVDInfoPro reveals that it is indeed CMC Mag E01. Despite that, it burned easily and the scan looked perfect. I did try the comparison between ISO and the disk and--if I got it right--it said they were identical, which I assume is good. Do other utilities allow you to do more tests of blank media?

Within 5 years technology will probably look a lot different than it does now and our movie/data storage devices entirely different. Who knows? Remember floppies?

And paying big bucks for blanks.

Anybody that thought these dvdr's would last a 100 years were fooling themselves.

the drive is about 1/2 the size of a regular tower case which means you need a big case maybe a cabinet
