Answer"MAM-A estimates their Gold label CD-R's have a life-span of 300 years and the silver CD-R's of about 50 years. Other discs that they have tested look like they'll fail in 2 years or less.

Due to differences in organic dyes between CDs and DVD's, Gold label DVD's have a lab-rated life-span of 100 years, if handled properly. MAM-A silver label CDs and DVD's can start to degrade after 20-30 years."

DVD-R discs will last anywhere from 40-250 years. Re-writable DVDs last from 25-100 years. These time frames are, however, dependent on storage and care of the DVD.
