I've finally filled up my 250gb external backup drive, and I want to make some more room on it again (can't afford a new backup drive right now).
I decided instead of deleting all the stuff off it I don't use or watch anymore, i'm just going to backup onto DVD.

My question is, what speed should I do it at?? I know that their is hardly EVER a problem with burning at maximum speed (16x in this cate),,, but i've heard that burning at a slower speed can make the data a little less prone to being damaged??

Does anyone know if this is true, or is it a complete waste of time??

I ask because some of the stuff i'm backing up took me forever to download, and some I won't be able to get back again... So i'm hoping to store it as solidly as possible...

Thanks in advance guys
