Hi,
I've recently taken the plunge and purchased a Phillips DVD+R machine and have been happily getting to grips with recording on it.
I have been told by a friend the other day that it has been said somewhere that because these discs don't have a protective layer like pre recorded DVDs, they only have a shelf life of a couple of years.
Is this true?, will all my recordings rot in a few years time?
I remember this being said about CDs when they first started, which has been proven wrong with time,
I'm just hoping that this is the same!,
Can anyone put my mind at rest before I bin all my VHS recordings?
Thanks
