Legal, non copyrighted video, of course.

You should have seen what happened when I backed it all up to DVD-R (took about 100 discs)!

# Why?
(I helped save b3ta! fool_on_the_hill, Sat 9 Apr 2005, 21:15, archived)
# dvd-rs are kind of volatile.
depending what type you burnt and where you store them, the discs can be useless within 3 years.

although its down to the dyes the discs have on their base

# I did not know that.
But in two years we'll have much higher capacity discs and faster burners, so it won't take two days of my life to do a back-up next time.

# That's good
Assuming the make is decent. Mine have cost the best part of £200, for 560GB in total. They're all Seagate Barracudas though, and three of the four were bought brand new.
