Interesting read..

Following upon the overwhelming success of the 24 karat Gold Ultradisc(tm) CD-R, Mobile Fidelity is expanding its presence in the recordable media market with the introduction of the forthcoming 24 karat Gold Ultradisc(tm) DVD-R . Designed for professional, data critical, music, video and graphic archival applications, and all other data storage needs where there is zero margin for loss or error, ULTRADISC(tm) DVD-Rs feature instantaneous pit burning (burst burning) for superior pit formation and extremely low to no error rate and the exclusive DATA GUARD SCRATCH RESISTANT COATING(tm) - which increases surface protection by up to seven times more than regular non coated DVD recordable media. Further, where as the average DVD-R has a projected life-span of 20 years when stored under optimal conditions, accelerated aging tests demonstrate that the ULTRADISC(tm) DVD-R will retain their technical, data storage and retrieval specifications for over 100 years.
