Did he talk about CD/DVD-RW? I though R only. Anyway I readed somewhere that phase-change (RW) medias may have longer durability than R.
But dying medias are common problem. Probably everybody who burns over 10 yars met some unreadable media in his archive. I did big scanning last week and must trash about 30 Philips CD-R about 6 years old because of this (see pictures of rising C1/C2 errors and bad blocks in scan).

So currently I keep important data on HDD and DVD-RAM which I belive more that R/RWs. It would be nice to have UDF (even read only) driver for DOS...
