Sorry Scott but Bill is right.This subject has already been beaten to
death on this NG.

The last discussion mentioned the fact that you can buy archival
quality DVDs. They are more expensive but are supposed to have much
longer life. My media supplier stocks and sells such discs.

I do a lot of work at a local Comcast production facility and they
have archived almost all of their old footage onto standard DVDs.

If they were my films I would have them cleaned and transferred to
DVD. I doubt I would go to the trouble of having them transferred to
DVCam and editing them. Sounds like a long edit session to me.
My 2 cents on the subject.
