I never write anything to DVD anymore, never mind wanting to write anything twice or more to the same DVD. Dirt cheap now as optical media is painfully slow, I guess some one somewhere has a need for this.

This sort of thing is on the cusp of being obsolete. With fibre optic broadband speeds and just about everything available online free (legally or not), is there really still a need for storage media like this?

If you need to snail-mail post some data (encrypted, with the password sent via another method), DVDs are still the cheapest per GB. Also, I sometimes find that OS distros written to USB sticks don't always boot correctly on some PCs, yet the same distro written to DVD does.

What I do with (Verbatim...the best) DVD+RW's is to write a bunch of OS'es and live recovery images on them (I write the OS name on each disc with a Sharpie) and occasionally rewrite them with newer versions as they come out. A tub of 25 lasts ages and I paid around 7.50 last time I got a tub.

Other than the above, DVDs are indeed pretty well obsolete - most video playback devices nowadays have either USB or Net capability, so the days of actually burning a movie to DVD are long gone really. There's also been a trend for quite a while for machines, particularly laptops, to ship without optical devices to save space/weight. Won't stop me shifting my trusty LG combo drive (CD/DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-ray) to successive PCs I've bought...
