junk: 6 months; top quality burner and matching disks: 20 years,
according to some experts. True longevity will cost you, plus you'll
have to keep the burner to be able to read them! Seriously, articles
in MIT Technology Review say 10 yrs is the max life because the
"formats" will have become obsolete.

What are you burning exactly? videos or data?
