      In that case, the concern about drm is null and void. That said,
how did that work out for you? I thought about doing that because of
the sheer capacity but my experience using DL DVDs for backup was not
as good as the original claims. Retention was not good after a year or
so, which led me to use hard drives instead with a slow rotation
policy and keeping hardware to read it (poor man's futureproofing).
