Back in the winter there was a thread regarding concerns on the longevity of DVD-R media. I decided to put one in the glove compartment of my car to give it a bit of a torture test. I just saw it on Sunday and took it in the house and it still plays fine. It is back in the car now and I will see what it will be like after the summer. One year in a car must be equal to a decade in a climate controlled house. Gerhard Kuhn suspice at hay.net P.S. This is a cheap no name disk, I think Ritek manufactured it but I am not sure since it has no label.
