see the other thread on here.
i just paid to convert all of my Hi8 and D8 tapes to digital. my strategy is as follows:
* upload everything to google cloud (free unlimited for video and up to 12mp for photos)
* store DVDs with the videos and hard drive with videos mp4s in my office filing cabinet
* keep the original tapes.
this gives me access to everything anytime i want and at least 2 redundant local backups.
i think you may want to burn hard-copy disks as well as the HD because your HD may not be easy to access in 10 years. see: zip and jaz disks, SCSI drives, etc etc.
in short, burn cheap disks with the files as well as a 'living' hard drive.
