Can anyone tell me the actual lifespan of a dvd disc, and are they as "tough" as people make out?
I ask this because I've just looked at a few of my dvd discs and noted there are scratches. I'm very careful with them, so I don't know where the scratches came from.
They're not affecting the picture quality, I just wondered if scratches indicate damage to the disc, to the degree that it won't be long before the picture shows signs of age.

As for the actual lifespan of a disc, I don't know, I can tell you that in the several years I have been buying discs, I have never had one break on me or stop working. As long as the scratches don't go to deep and the disc plays fine now, I don't see how they would destroy the disc in the future as they would have to get to the metallic area in the center of the disc to cause damage over time.

Thanks for the reply, Flash.
There are also some dvd disc repair kits on the market. I think I'll buy one, just in case.
