I've got some +R discs that were recorded about a year ago starting to go
bad. The DVDR that recorded them doesn't even recognize them anymore. A
separate player machine reads some of them but not others.

What's going on here? I thought these discs were supposed to last 100
years. Maybe the plastic substrate will, but the image emulsion doesn't
seem to hold the data, at least on my discs. Is this an inherent defective
technology? I've never had trouble with CD-R discs but DVD has been a big
headache and I'm ready to throw in the towel after a lot of money and time
wasted.
