Hello, i been wondering alot latley on how long the dvdr discs we use really last ? i been burning now for well over a year. i tryed all kinds of brands from the cheapest to the best. i USE nothing but sonys now, or maxell, nothing else. i take the best care of my dvds. they are kept in the spindle i buy them in, in my dvd cabinet. i never ever lend them out for the fear of who i lend them to wont take care of them. so my dvd are in mint shape, no fingerprints, dust, or cleaned with any kind of chemicals. the cheapest dvds i used in the beginning(memorex, playo, teon) still a year later play fine. well the sonys i know i can count on. but still leads to the QUESTION? How long do they really last ??

POS ones don't have as long a lifespan as good ones. Think Memorex vs. TY. I have the cheap Sonys that still play, but if I were to run them through the PC to make another copy...they won't. It'll always run into an error. :(

It pays to make sure you get the quality media. I no longer look at any potential media unless it's Verb or TY.
