Do many producers do that yet? I have to say, as soon as they start mass-producing 5TB disks and I can put 6 of those in a slick HTPC, I'm going to archive my movie collection as well (music is archived, CD's are just for the discman now). If they started selling downloadable DVDs I would buy those and burn the backup discs myself. I think this is getting a little too OT.
