[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 283399, member: 8"] Hm, yes. The DVD is a far mor fickle format than CD (because it stores more data?) and even my 15 y/o home made CD-Rs prove to be surprisingly reliable, even after many hours of playback. I had started ripping the Knots Landing discs but it's so boring and I stopped at season 4. But it really needs to be done, thanks for the reminder. But even the factory pressed DVDs can be hit-or-miss. I'm currently on my third edition of Disney's Snow White because the damn things just stop working. It's not like I'm watching this movie every week, and even so that really [I]shouldn't [/I]affect the lifespan of the DVD. An MP4 backup is probably the best option for your M-O-D discs, although the very idea takes some of the magic out of it, I find. On the upside, with the physical and digital format you have [I]both[/I]. A file isn't "safe" just because it's a file, it also needs to be stored properly. Is it wise to trust every hosting website or cloud or wherever these things go? And what's the lifespan of an external hard drive? Etc, etc. Sigh! [/QUOTE]
