Hi guys.

I'm reading a lot about blueray as cold storage. But I don't have a budget to buy a bluray burner.

So I was thinking.

Is any of you using dvd dl nowdays? 8gb aren't a lot and maybe also pricy but is just for discussions. TBH I use 2 HDD (cloned) for memories like photos and videos maybe too much to be burned on a DVD.

But it could be cool to have them on disc that since I rarely use them and just waste precious space on hdd.

This is just a thread for discuss about compressions, if any, and use-case. Because I know the risk of the organic nature of dvd, the humidity, so it's just for talking.
