Q: Can you burn photos from apple mac iphoto to these discs please?

Hi Angela, I cannot give you a definite answer to this as I’ve never used Apple hardware. However, if you can burn your iPhotos to normal DVD’s then it’s likely you’ll be able to burn to M-discs as long as your hardware recognises M-discs and as long as your burning software also recognises M-discs. I purchased an external ASUS ZenDrive to use on my PC running XP and it was recognised OK. I then loaded my Ashampoo burning software and it also recognised I’d loaded an M-disc. Both my hardware and software are quite old. Check the age of both your hardware and software and if after the introduction of M-discs then you will probably be OK - but I can’t promise. Note that the ASUS drive came bundled with a couple of DVD M-discs so I was able to test these worked before buying a pack of M-discs. Also note that M-discs are available for both DVD and Blue Ray - decide which you want first. You are probably best contacting Apple support and checking with them.

Q: Am i able to copy all my photos and videos onto this from my pc and still access them like a sd or hdd want perment storage of my files?

These discs behave much like ordinary DVDs, but they re made of material that does not degrade over time. Most DVDs use a dye base that will eventually fade. These discs actually engrave the data on a silicate type base. The current makers simple claim a very long life, but early tests show that these could last for a thousand years. Of course we have to hope that people a thousand years hence will know how to access the data, but certainly is should be safe for a considerable time. Much longer than dye based discs. They can be used on a standard blue ray drive to both write and read

Q: Can theses be used on all lu ray writers

They can be read on nearly all blu ray drives but you need an M Disc capable drive to burn them. Most drives have an M Disc logo on tray if they're capable but check full spec as some may only burn M Disc DVD.

Q: Can anyone advice me on another type of disc that can store my photos and videos for years and years while still being able to read delete view etc

You could try Verbatim DataLifePlus. This is what Verbatim has to say about the different types of disc: Unlike traditional optical media, which utilize dyes that can break down over time, data stored on an M DISC is engraved on a patented inorganic write layer – it will not fade or deteriorate. This unique engraving process renders these archival grade discs practically impervious to environmental exposure, including light, temperature and humidity. To be honest I'm only using the M Disc to archive items that I deem important and irreplaceable, e.g. a collection of photos I've scanned, video footage captured on HDV mini tapes, and also Super 8mm film that I had digitised. My hobby is creating home movies and sharing these with family and friends on DVDs. I have used 'ordinary' DVDs for a this purpose over a number of years (18 or more), and have not known of any failures over this time period. In my experience DVDs fail at the recording stage or not at all. I do store them in DVD cases, so perhaps protecting from direct sunlight when not being used helps. I also find the DataLifePlus discs are ideal. These have something Verbatim calls AZO recording dye which supposedly optimizes read/write performance. I can't comment on that, nut what I can say is that I have had M Discs fail when recording to them, but I've never had DataLifePlus disc fail, either during recording or later when accessing the disc again. That's not to say they can't fail, just that I have never experienced it.
