Data on DVD’s sucks

Posted by Wilco on August 15, 2006

Although Video on DVD+R’s of DVD-R’s are great and works most of the time, data DVD’s don’t.

I’ve backuped some mp3 music and after verifying it in Nero it turns out ok, but then when I want to read the data back again, some files could not be read… I don’t know what the problem is, but the dvd burner is ok and the quality of the dvd’s also (philips).

So I’m going to backup on a hard drive instead of dvd’s, that’s more safe and your data will stay better over time…
