Why recordable DVDs wonÂ’t last
http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/01/137227

    The conventional wisdom has been that recordable DVDs would replace the     VHS cassette as the media of choice for archiving TV shows and movies.     But that vision seems pretty shortsighted.

This new version, 2.0,     which is available for both Linux and Windows, is a great advancement     over the previous 1.2 series. A lot of hard work and care obviously     went into this release, warranting the major upgrade in version and, of     course, the upgrade fees that go with it.
