no cost for media.
But theoretically, couldn't you just reuse a few MD's over and over without any loss of quality? It's not like dat/dds where you lose quality reusing them, is it?
I wouldn't erase any MD masters of a show i taped, would you?
So what are HD recorder people going to do, archive hard drives?
Personally, I don't really care what happens to my dat masters (since I tape in 16/44, viewpoint might be different in 16/48). Once I've extracted the audio and shn'ed and uploaded to some friend's ftp servers, I'm happy with a shn cdr in hand and knowing that if something happened to it that my server friends would be able to hook me up.
As for the HD recorder peeps, nah, i would archive the raw wav i transfer over on my pc. As for dats and MD's, i safe keep them, even though i do have transfers sitting on my pc (as shn and wav) and will probably backup to dvd-rw eventually, i'm just paranoid like that. I always like to have multiple sources to retrieve them, as you do with ftp.
