Hello guys, I have about 50 Taiyo Yuden DVDs I bought ~10 years ago, it is still unopened and I didn’t burn anything on them.

If I burn stuff on them now will it be in good quality, like new DVDs? Or does the quality degrade even if not used?

    I bought last time DVDs in August of 2007 and CDs way earlier. They still work whenever I need one (and I’ll probably never get to use them all). Write, verify, move along.

    I still have around 20-25 Taiyo Yuden DVD-Rs left from around 12-13 years ago that I still occasionally burn with no issues.

    I so miss the days of buying them and BD-R discs from supermediastore.com, which is unfortunately no more.

    I’ve burnt to 10+ year old disks and they still work fine, mine are probably medium quailty disks but they are white printable ones and on a spindle so no idea what brand they are. DVD’s do degrade over time but I think Taiyo Yuden were supposed to be really good quality ones weren’t they?
