Thanks Jim & Robert!

For non-replaceable language recordings, it makes sense to use media
that has the greatest longevity.  This will make archiving less of a
worry and more of a "best practice".

I imagine that the archival quality ratings for the gold-plated CDRs are
applicable also to the gold-plated DVDRs.  Since I will be working with
digital video it might be a good practice to use this media too.

I took a shallow look on the internet and found that Wipedia has a nice
summary of CDRs worth looking at.  They mention Mitsui.

Also, here is a link to Mitsui or Mitsui MAM-A.

For better pricing, you can get the Mitsui MAM-A media a bit cheaper
here.
