Not THAT one ... but COMMERCIAL DVD's are expected to erode (all a matter of oxidation intrusion from the edges of the covering to the metal) in about 12-20 years, same as tape survival ... RECORDABLE DVD's are lucky to last 6 years on anectodal evidence ... so you make DUBS and ONLY play the dubs so that the "longer-life" commercial press doesn't end up on the floor and suffer ... that's what I was saying ...But ANY librarian of WORTHY storage treats will tell you - you NEVER risk the ORIGINAL copy, and every few years, you BACK IT UP. |
