digitalfreaknyc is right! Buying "El Cheapo" discs to save a few bucks is one thing. But for archiving purposes it's definitely worth it to pay extra for the quality a good brand name will provide. You want your movies to last forever, so stick to tried and tested brands. Personally, I swear only by Verbatim. Excellent lifetime durability and not expensive at all but still more expensive than the "no label" type. Believe me, it's worth it!
