I have some albums with document protectors that my keepers go into. Way too many for the walls.and they stay flat and don't fade.

Do you ever get tired of blowing your own horn?

If you were like me you would buy about 10 - 12 Rubber Maid tubes at Walmart and stack them up in the spare room.

Not very often someone else blows my horn, so I may as well....
Oh, wait a minute, who was this remark intended for?

No No Esther, it wasn't aimed at you in the least, guess it was aimed at IBE. No Dear, not you. Always enjoy reading what you have to say, at least you always seem to make sense.

Oh, that's a relief ;-))
Actually, when I read that remark, I was very frustrated and I'm afraid I used it to put me back in a lighter mood.
"What to do" would have applied to my situation:
I had spent many hours making a movie from the videos taken at our son's wedding. Burned a DVD for them to give them for Christmas, and figured I'd burn more after New Year's for the rest of the family. Except that when I went to do that yesterday I found that the file I had burned the DVD from had become corrupted..... I won't tell you what I said - it wasn't lady-like ;-)))
I still don't know what happened, but my son Skyped me a copy of the movie (that also doesn't want to be burned to DVD), but with the help of that movie I can now restore the parts of my project that became corrupted.....
So, what to do? DO NOT panic, sit back and think it over first.
This afternoon I hope to be able to burn the DVD again, and will immediately make extra copies ;-))

I'm sorry to hear that, have you tried to google an answer or perhaps a way to restore properly?

Hi Esther . . . If I was in that situation I would take the easy way out and get the original disc back long enough to make copies. As an idea for the future would suggest making the first burned copy a master that you file away for yourself.

Just my thoughts . . . good luck!

When you get good enough to do it in one shoot, let us know!

Yup, thought about that. Second part of the movie, I did exactly that. (One movie of the wedding, one movie of the vacation in Jamaica the week of the wedding). But daughter-in-law is in Jasper (Greyhound busdriver), and son is in the bush somewhere outside of Prince George - he can use his blackberry there, but not the post office...

CD's are good for a few years, DVD's last a bit longer. Then it also depends on the quality of the disk you buy. Unfortunately there is no permanent storage method for digital images. You have to keep updating the storage as the media changes. Oh yes- do have a spare "player" for whatever media you store on- the players become obsolete too.

In this house: one backwards compatible BlueRay player and at least 3 DVD readers/writers.
As to DVDs, I try and buy only name-brand, quality ones, hoping they will last longer than "unknowns." And every few years I copy them to a new DVD - needed or not.

The original post doesn't sound boastful to me.

Good thread IBE. Don't be surprised if it keeps running.
