Bigass writeup on why DVD+R is great, and a nice writeup and reasoning on the best media to buy, regardless of format.

After a weekend hassling with a pair of DVD-R burners - both write Memorex media just fine, one writes TDK just fine, the other has hissyfits and general attitude problems with same - I think it's noteworthy just for the media recommendation.

But then, I have around 220 gigs of my own material, and I'm itchy about keeping it all organized and backed up. Redundancy only goes so far when the media has an optimum five year lifespan.
