And I apologise for claiming CD-Audio has no error correction. It has some, and that's appropriate for pressed CDs and compromise between playing time and overhead. CD-Data is far better, but still not an archive medium on PC writing. Nor is DVD. We used DVD Video recording for a few years as better than VHS, but it was quickly eclipsed by other schemes. I also used Digital 8 for a while. The late 1990s Analogue 8mm Video tapes still work on the Sony Digital 8. I should transfer them to HDD before they fade. I got a low height PCIe Firewire card for my shoebox workstation and the camera plays back to HDD on Linux.
