nothing lasts forever, that is common sense; however, in my dvd media, i would like to define the longevity of it as "close to the manufacturer's claimed shelf-life expectancy." with the premium stuff that they say will last anywhere from 30-100 years, i would be perfectly happy if my media lasts 1/2 the bare minimum (of 30yrs)= 15yrs is a good amount of time for me. i can tell you from experience that some of my cmcmags' are already non-playable..and how long ago did i use these? a year ago at the very MOST? im approximating here from personal experience, but, to pay for dvd media that doesn't last for over a year, that is just not worth the money or time spent making those dvds in my opinion. i have riteks that still play fine from 2 years ago, i didn't discover the world of Taiyo Yuden until this year, so, im somewhat behind on my premium media; but since then i use nothing but TY coded and MCC coded media, whether it be fuji/sony/verbatim/etc...i am hoping these will last a long long time, anything that survives for over 5 years to me personally, is decent enough. have a good one.
Recommended Media:
Taiyo Yuden 4x dvd-r TYGO1/ 8x dvd-r TYGO2/ 8x dvd+r YUDEN000T02/ 16x dvd+r YUDEN000T03
Verbatim 8x dvd+r MCC003
Verbatim dvd+r DL (MKM001)= flawless no compression backups
