My collection of pressed CDs seem to be sufficiently durable that I'm not
overly worried about them becoming unreadable any time soon. I have discs
dating back to the invention of CD in 1983, and they're just fine.

The only disc I have some difficulty reading is one I picked up in a
second-hand shop that looked like it had been played on a belt sander. It's
the one I use for testing Device::SCSI with. Even so, I can get the CDDA
data off if I use a sufficiently-good drive.

Pressed DVDs are a different kettle of fish. I've already got a 2004-vintage
one that's unscratched but still has unplayable bits. Eventually I'll get
round to ripping and archiving all of the DVDs before it's too late.
