[MacDV] Re: DVD-R longevity

[ShirleyK]

Actually I did, accidentally of course. I left my first DVD sitting on 
a table by a window for a couple weeks. It wouldn't play in either 
computer and only the motion menu played reliably in the consumer DVD 
player.

I was told that sunlight is a good way to destroy the dye layer. I bet 
light is harder on the dye than heat (just thinking about what sunlight 
does to fabrics).
