If you go under Edit>Catalog Settings>Metadata you can choose “Automatically write changes into XMP”. For Raw or DNG files all the adjustments in Lightroom will be automatically saved to the original image file (XMP sidecar file) and you will be able to see the changes in Bridge.
If you also want to see the Develop changes in a non-raw format then also check off “Include Develop setting in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF, and PSD files”. Just be warned, because Bridge now sees XMP sidecar files attached to these file types they might open up first in Camera Raw plug-in, rather than directly opening up in Photoshop.

- You can also manually save the metadata by hitting Ctrl-S or go to Metadata>Save Metadata to File.
- Since I set LR to write XMP files and back up after each shot (day two shot three, etc) all I had to do was copy the photos to a new HD or grab the backup, make a new catalog and re-import the photos.
  
  If I hadn’t set LR to write XMPs he would have had to re-edit the whole shoot (remember, that’s 5k images!) and the job would have been late.
  
  Sends him into a panic every time it happens, but he’s thankfull that I set up a workflow that means a hassle rather than a disaster.

My best advice to you is to use Taiyo-Yuden (TY) media,
I also suggest burning all of your audio CD's at 16X, this affect what's called single-beam readers. Also, it insures higher integrity of the burn. Burn 16X DVD's at 8X to increase the write integrity.

- As cheap as media is, I suggest burning more than one copy, storing the image on an external archive hardrive. When burning, don't use overburning. You lose some integrity for error correction.
