DVDs are not exactly archival
There are lots of arguments on that. Frankly, I wish MO had caught on; that's probably the most "archival" there is. Even chiseling something into a rock won't last forever.
Unfortunately, migrating data between old and new media isn't going to go away, though it would be nice. I figure my DVD-Rs, properly stored, will last long enough to be transferred to whatever replaces them (Blu-Ray? DVD-HD? Punchcards?). Shoot, most of my 5.25" disks that had sat in a box for 10 years worked the last time I went through them before their ultimate disposal.
