I'm pretty sure optical media will be around for a long time although not as mainstream as was. It's cost is still unbeatable. You can get a 25gb brd for less than a $ while a memory card with the same capacity is much more expensive. Shelf life is also better for optical discs, they are great for create and forget backups.
- dehrmann 5y agoA digitized a bunch of home movies, and one of the formats I settled on was DVDs. The latest Xbox and Playstation still play them, so I expect to be able to find readers for the next 20 years. It's a lousy format, though. For files intended to be played on a computer, I used webm/vp9/opus. It seemed like browser-supported, royalty-free formats that play on everything not Apple would last a while.
