I have burned a lot of 40 year dvds that I bought at Costco. I have not yet had a chance to test whether they really do work after 40 years, but I have that on my to-do list

I have heard for some years now that the life of CDs and DVDs is in the 6, 7, maybe 8 year range.I don't know if that means you can get eight years shelf life out of a Burned DVD even if you leave it in the back window of your car, in Phoenix, for eight years. A couple of years ago I bought some 50 year DVD at Frt's Electronics. Burned a few things to them, haven't tested that 50 years yet. your mileage may vary.
