Do printed DVDs last that little? That sounds more like the lifespan of burned discs.



It's mostly dependent on heat, humidity, and light. And then of course handling. And the actual player and how much it might contact the disc (eg inserting in certain slot drives repeatedly can brush dust/dirt on the surface).


From experience, yes, they can. Make backups of the DVDs, CDs and Blu-ray discs you care about.
