That’s a great question. The truth is no one knows for certain how long recordable media will last. VHS tapes degrade over time due to their magnetic strips. It’s possible that DVD’s will last 50 years, but it’s also possible they’ll begin to degrade after 10. Some people argue they have a life of over 100 years. There is no guarantee how long they’ll last. The bottom line is you must take care of them. Finish My Video uses only the highest quality professional grade writeable DVD’s. The manufacturer states that they should last 50 years.
