Matthew,
If you really want to use DVD, you should look into Mobile Fidelity's
Ultradisc 24KT gold DVD-Rs, with a projected lifespan of 100 years,
advertised as archival quality. They use an annular dye that doesn't
break down. A pack of 25 goes for $99.99. Go to www.mofi.com, and
click on "accessories." Even with those discs, I'd still advise to
make two copies...
