I have a DVD burner but unfortunatly DVD burning support is rather ill
in Linux right now until the UDF support becomes more mature. OTOH, once
UDF writting is mature, Linux users can start using CD-RW as just
another RW file system/block device.

The DVD+R's are about $5 each and there are a ton of competing formats.
The media is also very fragile and tempramental. A figerprint could ruin
a DVD+RW. I tend to believe that the next DVD standard should
re-implement the caddy idea.
