I like those disks, but I'm trying to eliminate all the DVDs I have 
now.  Possibly get a Blu-Ray USB burner.  Is there Linux support for those?

I've made progress in creating a process to archive pictures.  I'm 
sorting them by date.  This would be an easier process If I did not get 
easily obsessed and keep tweaking it.

Here is a link to a perl program I've written to do the copy, naming, 
etc to a target directory.

If interested, take a look at it, run it, improve it, whatever.

If I had to do this kind of work on Windows I have no cloud how I would 
do it. :)
