Lifespan of CD-rs and DVD-rs
Posted by: Bosh on 22 March 2004
What is the expected lifespan of these recordable/re-recordable media, is it as long as "factory" CDs. I am keen to know as I wish to archive some vinyl, camcorder and photo footage but am a sceptical having some early music CD go "rusty"

Those are BOUND to be pressed by PDO. If you do a directory enquiries or websearch for Philips DuPont Optical Blackburn, you can contact PDO and get these replaced FOC.
I had one disc from them pressed as late as 1994 that went off... I've had them all replaced
