Are DVD+RW discs as good for long-term storage as DVD+R discs?
MKN asked:
I’d like to transfer some home movies from video tape to DVD. It would be easier for me to use DVD+RW, because if I make a mistake I can erase it and continue recording instead of throwing the disc away.

However, I want to know if DVD+RW is not as good for long-term archival purposes as DVD+R. Is DVD+RW more likely to degrade over time? For example, after ten years of storage, is a DVD+RW disc more likely to encounter read-errors than a DVD+R?
Thanks!
