lordsmurf a écrit:Media will deteriorate, but you have to separate everything out.
Dye-based media, like CD-R, will take a couple decades to degrade. Because DVD-R and DVD+R media is sandwiched between plastic, it should last a bit longer. You have two things to worry about, the foil and the dyes. Each dye can be different, AZO, cyanine, cyanine derivatives, organics, or compounds of any of these. One problem is tests show the better discs may dye fast, but the longer-lasting discs don't read real well even when they are "good" (pthalycyanine supposedly outlasting azo, for example).
HOWEVER ...... all this talk of discs dying in a few months is almost always bogus. The person usually has a cheap disc that was never very good, or the laser is dying, or the disc was never good to begin with (TEST YOUR DISCS AFTER BURNING!).
And I don't mean the PIF/PIE stuff, but watch the discs. See how many players can play them, how many can play them while FF-PLAY or REW-PLAY. Run surface scans. Everything you can. It takes time, so you will likely ONLY want to do it on the most valuable discs. And then be sure to copy valuable items 2-3 times on various top-rated media (a TY, a MXL, and an MCC disc, for example). Remember that those PI tests, the "scanning" of discs, is only a rough estimate, and can change from scan to scan. It's not accurate proof of anything, just a guideline of how the drive is interacting with the media, and what it sees or think it sees. It not uncommon to have a good scan on a bad disc, or a bad scan on a good disc. People get too attached to those things. Value the test for what it can do, don't put it on a pedestal and worship it.
A dye-based media should last for several decades at minimum, if stored correctly. This means even small things, like making sure your DVD case does not warp the disc (a lot of those cheap crappy cases warp discs by pulling too hard on the center).
Phase change media is different, your CD-RW, DVD-RW and DVD+RW. Maybe even DVD-RAM to an extent (yes, contrary to the "100 years" crap you get in the marketing pamphlets ... lots of companies are learning this one the hard way). Those discs are intended for temporary use only, to rewrite, and they can die in a few months, used or not. It's usually very easy to spot a bad disc, look for craters in the writing surface. The craters are seen in the dark gray surface as darker gray little spots.
As far as UNBURNED media, I've heard that 6-12 months is optimal. But I have some PVC media that was manufactured in 2003 that burns better than even the newest TY or MCC discs. Again, it probably comes down to disc quality. All of my unused blanks are in a box, in jewel cases, hidden from light. Light is the major enemy with unused blanks

je ne peux m'empêcher de poser la question
de la conservation à long terme des DVD double couche
pour lesquels on ne trouve pas moins de 8 couches collées ensemble !

1°) Plextor DVD+R (TY) 8X - widely available 'quality disc'
2°) Verbatim DVD-R 16x (MCC 03RG20) *Taiwan very popular and widely available
3°) Sony DVD-R tai +R (Sony) - widely available locally in stores
4°) TDK DVD-R 8x (TTH02) - as above
5°) Philips (CMC or Ritek or) - as above
6°) LG DVD+R 8x (Prodisc R03) - an example of Prodisc, sold under many brands ?
7°) fake TY DVD-R/DVD+R () - an example of faked TY disc
8°) Budget DVD-R (Princo) - a really bad quality disc
9°) Verbatim +RW (MCC) - most popular RW locally
10°) Verbatim +R DL (MCC) - most widely available/popular DL
11°) MAM-E DVD-R 8x (MCI) - possible hi-quality in longevity test?
12°) Ricoh DVD+RW 8x (Ricoh) - possbily fairly tolerant RW
13°) Maxell DVD-R 16x (MXL RG04) *Japan - easily available (locally) quality disc
*local=within FIN

Which was the main reason why development took so long.
About Phase Change.
It's tricky material.
And if you read the whole article and understand behaviour of ther materials and the understand manufactureing conditions then you could understand what gave that weird conclusion.
Let me say this depending on testing conditions it is possible to make phase change material to look much more stable or much more worse as dye.
(Knowing conditions which hardly seem to effect dye but kill phase change and the other way arround !)
dolphinius_rex a écrit:If your burner is compatible with it, Optodisc's A Grade 8x DVD-Rs (The means Samsung or Acro Circle brand) are highly stable. They take high points in every stability test I've seen them in, holding their own against Verbatim in every case (excpt Scour's link, where Verbatim 8x DVD-Rs « the best archival media »pulled a little ahead).
I know people are going to jump down my throat for posting this, but the test data *IS* there to back it up.
(TDK made in Luxembourg is also a good choice!)
Do *NOT* use Taiyo Yuden media!

Look at the stability scores (Stab. ) in particular! Now ok, the 4x DVD-Rs weren't that good for mechanical index of overall burn quality, but the 8x DVD-Rs are fine, and are MUCH more stable than Taiyo Yuden in terms of lifespan.
I think C't should be good enough for now. Further data will be available in a couple months I expect

To overcome compatibility issues, the first layer of Verbatim's new Dual Reflective Layer is highly reflective and this, when combined with the Metal AZO dye recording layer, provides excellent read/write performance. As a result, DVD recordable drives can apply optimized recording conditions without requiring any firmware upgrades.
The second reflective layer prevents oxygen from coming through the DVD bonding material. Oxidation, one of the primary causes of degradation, limits the lifetime of DVD media.
.Verbatim will leverage this unique technology to deliver superior 8x speed DVD-R archival-grade media in Q2 2006
