Just wondering, how long do the recordable disks last for? I find that sometimes, CD Rs start to degenerate after a couple of years. Are DVDs similar in that respect?
- From what I read, pressed cds with Aluminium coatings degenerate in about 10 years esp if exposed to heat. No data on dye type CDRs but lousy brands become 0 in months. DVD discs I think are like pressed CDS and recently have problems because of layers separating when disc twisted etc.
The whole selling point of DVD's was that they would not degenerate! I have noticed that recordable DVD's are quite up and down with regards to quality and ability to function especially the top line discs
And how many years do you live ? I just need something that can last me 100 years is good enough. Don't care about them after I die anyway
