    I forget but there is a shelf life to DVDs and Blu-ray correct?

    Honestly sounds like people should get into private digitization

      Pressed discs should last a couple decades if stored properly. Burned discs will often decay in a couple years

      Should be noted that flash storage like USB drives and ssds should be plugged in every couple years, to recharge the flash storage. The cells can lose their data otherwise

      dvd players yea, they break down fast because its cheaply made by china, and most dont have blu ray players, you either have a laptop that can play it, or your own desktop you can download something to play blu ray.
