As previously discussed on this list, there are a few brands of CD-Rs which 
feature the use 
of gold as a reflective material. The problem with CDs is that they store, 
relatively 
speaking, small amounts of data. A single multi-layered Photoshop image can 
fill up the 
better part of a CD.

Larger capacity DVD-Rs have not had a great reputation in the archival world. 
It looks like 
Delkin has been working on this and they now have a new product:

Perhaps the folks at the Canadian Conservation Institute who have been involved 
in testing 
CD-R and DVD-R media could comment on this new product.
