    DVD RW lifespan

    Reply Contact

    I use to rerecord over at least 30-40 on VHS tapes, probably more times than that. Are DVD RWs that are used for temporary recording of shows limited in the number of times used? It seems that way to me. Maybe my DVD RWs are too cheap.

    Anybody else experiencing this?

    Thanks,

    It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

     I believe they can be used about 50 times recording. All DVD-rw and r + or  - are subject to about a 5 year lifespan. This is because they use a dye based chemical that degrades or oxidizes over time. Real dvd and cds are pressed which form a near lifetime expectancy. The dye should be stored in a dark dry place as sunlight affects it a lot.
