Saving Images to DVD vs CD

[aweaver]

Someone said today that saving images after editing to a DVD produced better quality images for the client vs saving them on a CD. Is this true? Is there a markable difference?
thanks

Its all ones and zeros; I call BS.

Now it is true that you can save ~4GB on a DVD vs ~650MB on a CD, so you can put more/bigger files on the DVD which in and of themselves may be of a higher res.

depending on the method they are using to save them to a CD, their software may compress/degrade a large number of images to fit it into a 700M CD vs a 4500M DVD.

if you have 2 Gigs worth of hi-res jpegs, some software will degrade/resize them so they ALL fit on a single CD.

If it was a single image, assuming it wasn't > 700M, there is no difference at all between saving the same file to a CD vs a DVD vs a USB stick

I would say that CD's decay faster than DVD's and you have a greater risk of data corruption over time with a CD due to the Dye's used.

Hmmm Interesting info on the dye ... but I can see that.

I back up to DVDs ... because I keep the Raw files and processed/approved files together.

but that isn't going to affect the image quality, only the ability to read the image...
