</div><br></blockquote></div><br>I like to create ISO's out of everything. That way, if I need to burn a backup copy, I can. I have my DVDs stored in my basement in a plastic container. I've heard that CDs can have have issues after 10+ years. The tin can tarnish over time. Who knows if DVDs can have the same issues? I have taken my movies that are on two DVDs (Lord of the Rings, Goodfellas, etc) and combined them using DVD Shrink into one ISO. It makes it much easier with programming Myth as Xine just keeps playing as opposed to stopping one movie, starting the next, and then me having to choose the correct audio (DTS in my case). The ISO ends up being in the 11GB range, but I've had no issues.<br>
