A new company called Cranberry is offering a new DVD disc that can store data for 1,000 years and still be readable.

What allows the new disc media to last so long is that the discs don't use dyes, adhesive layers, or reflective materials that can deteriorate over time. The discs can also stand up to temperatures as high as 176 degrees.

These discs can be read by any DVD player but, unfortunately they need a special DVD burner to burn them.  The DVD burner needed for writing the special DVDs sells for $4,995 and includes 150 discs. (WOW!  What a deal!)
