Designed for M-DISC Archiving

Archive volumes are sized at approximately 20 GB to fit comfortably on 25 GB M-DISC Blu-ray media, which is rated for 1,000+ years of data retention. This is Daniel's preferred method for permanent offline archiving of the show.

As the catalog grows, new volumes will be generated at the same ~20 GB target. Volume 1 is smaller than this target because it contains the full archive as it existed when this system was first built — it's the exception, not the rule.

M-DISC Blu-ray labeled My Weird Prompts Tranche 1 — Verbatim M-Disc BD-R 25GB

One of the backup M-DISCs from the MWP archive. Rated for 1,000+ years.

Recommended Backup Procedure

If you're burning archive volumes to M-DISC (or any optical media), we recommend extracting the files first rather than burning the compressed archive as a single file. This protects against single-file corruption making the entire volume unreadable.

  1. Download the .tar.zst volume to your computer.
  2. Extract the archive: tar -xf mwp-vol01-ep0001-XXXX.tar.zst
  3. Verify the extracted files — spot-check a few audio files and transcripts to make sure they play/read correctly.
  4. Burn the extracted folder to your M-DISC using UDF or ISO 9660 format. This way each episode is a separate file on disc — if any single file is damaged, the rest remain accessible.
Why not burn the .tar.zst directly? A compressed archive is a single file. If even a few bytes are corrupted on disc, the entire archive may become unextractable. Burning individual files means damage is isolated to the affected file only.

Become a Backup Node

MWP is an open show and we believe in decentralised preservation. Download the archive and keep a copy on your own storage — NAS, external drive, M-DISC, whatever you have. Every extra copy makes the show more resilient.

If you're interested in becoming an informal backup node for the show, you're very welcome to do so! Let Herman and Corn know — they'd be genuinely excited to hear about it. Drop a note to show@myweirdprompts.com or say hi on Bluesky.
