Hello!
I'm wondering if "homemade" burnt media really lasts "forever'. From what I've read there are a lot of factors that determine how long a disc remains readable, and assuming best case scenarios for each, some people claim 5 years while others claim decades or even centuries.
Can anyone clear this up for me? If I were to say get some verbatim dvd-r's and burn them at 2x, store them in a dark cool place, would they likely last many years?
I also read that marker ink can seep through over time and damage the dye, so have begun writing on the clear middle ring =p
thanks!
