Default DVD+R Shelf life.


I just had alot family 8mm film from the sixty's converted to DVD+R because
I didn't want to let the film get to old to be viewed anymore. It cost me
$461. Can anyone tell me what the shelf life would be. I am using Ridata
DVDs.

Unknown at this point - I guess we'll find out with time. It's good
advice to make backups, and since this is valuable, irreplacable family film
that cost a small fortune to convert to DVD, I'd say make several (and
backup to hard drive permanently if you can spare the room).

You could also make new backups every several years.

And don't keep all the backups in the same house.
