I have had this same conversation elsewhere.
Your regular IT Microchiphead has the discipline required to sotre everything in a NAS
and take the necessary steps to make sure the data will last as long as the IT
Microchiphead.
Most people does not have the discipline required.
Meanwhile, a commercial DVD is likely to work for long without any special attention
as long as you keep a functioning DVD appliance around. Most digital iliterates
understand that concept, and that is why comercial disks are a better aproach for
them.
I agree that a movie has better chances of surviving half a century if it is stored in
a SAN cluster, equiped with a tape robot and with regular integrity checks running in
the background. However, good luck making regular people set that up...
