Re: preservation of DVD
Since, to my knowledge, DVD's are recorded on the same type of media as CD's
in a different format, they are not preservation quality. Here's where my
knowledge gets hazy, VHS tape as a magnetic medium is also not very
long-lived, whether it is considered "better" in an archival sense, than
DVD, I don't know for certain.
