I was always interested in the DVD-RAMs since the media is protected in a cartridge, however the price of the discs kept putting me off.
I listen to Leo Laporte a lot, and he keeps telling people "after 10 years tapes de-grade to the point were there un-watchable anymore", and "tapes will stick and you'll won't be able to play them anymore".
I don't know why he keeps telling people this since the chance of this happening is not as big as he makes it seems, however I should add that he doesn't like using DVDs or hard drive for archiving nether...
