Hello everyone,

I have a lot of digital camera photos that I am planning to transfer to optical media. Currently, I only have a CDRW drive but I was looking into getting a DVD burner. Since DVDs can hold more data, it seems convenient to store my photos in fewer discs. I am concerned however on how DVD-R or DVD+R discs handle wear and tear of occasional use (scratches, dust, etc) and how reliable they are for data retrieval as compared to CDR discs. I currently use Fujifilm (Taiyo Yuden) CDRs for data backups. Would Taiyo Yuden DVD media be just as reliable for my purposes?

Thanks. All advice appreciated.

Here is an interesting article on DVD Media, it may help you in your decision on whether to buy a burner. Taiyo Yuden are one of the best media for DVD purposes.
