Burned 19 years ago, still perfectly usable. Reminder that what's burned doesn't get lost Jow Forums

>muh anecdotal evidence with a sample size of one

my recording of a hooker of questionable adulthood from 2007 has been perfectly retrieved from the dvd i burned back then.

I still have an original Windows 95 CD that works just fine.

Congrats

Retail? That's different, those discs are pressed, not burned.

Encrypted files burned into Blu-Ray M-Discs.

yep same, pressed discs will last forever as long as you store them correctly. this is sim city for the amiga CDTV from 91.

Now now user, you can't just say something like that and not provide a MEGA link

I've ancient CDs which work fine, but we knew to burn them at slowest possible speed for best burn which was especially effective for live CDs like Demolinux.

Rewriteable media is vulnerable, end of story.

now be a doll and upload your disc

back in the days where you had to pirate SSH. LOL!

as long as you store your ripped cds in a gunzipped tar archive inside of a rar4 archive, they'll be safe from bitrot for at-least forty years guaranteed. it's like putting food in a vaccum-sealed container then in an airtight industrial grade freezer unit.

Burned discs are perfectly likely to last for years. I've got some PS2 games I burned nearly ten years ago now. Made an image of a few to see if there were any issues, all of them verified perfectly against the original ISOs.
I've got some more really ancient shit too that I can't verify against a known good image, but nothing comes up as being damaged on them.

You should keep an eye out on your burned optical media, and you should make sure you're not storing it somewhere retarded (there's a bunch of people who will put burned CDs somewhere hot, humid, and/or sunny, maybe in a hot car, that sort of thing), but you're likely to be fine. If you're paranoid about discs in the future, add checksums, add redundant data, that sort of thing. Diversify how you store data, where optical media is just one part of many places a file is stored. Etc, etc.
