Yes, he is wrong. There is good authority that DVDs will last a very long
time with proper care and storage. Probably at least 25 years. Maybe 100
years or more. They should be stored in the dark, preferably at cool
temperatures and low humidity, vertically (not flat), in a protective
container of some kind. They should be handled with care to avoid
fingerprints and scratching the playing surface.
