I've recently been re-reading many of my old favourite books. These are often much better than the films based on them. Now winter is approaching it might be an idea to get all these old films on video or DVD.

Hagar    remember DVDs only last for a year or so, depending on the type of media you use, before they can degrade.

I love the Dambusters (forgot about that one). Very inspiring music!

You're right Woody. DVDs, like CDs should be able to last forever if you treat them right. I still have my old Win95 cd and it's in perfect condition, mind you it's now worthless ;)

DVDs will NOT degrade on their own

When you burn a CD or DVD it depend on the coating you are actually burining into as to how long they will last.  The CD DVD you buy is made differently then those us burn yourself. Alot depends on the quality of the laser doing the burning.  A rewritable disk may only last a little as 18 months. U.S. Geological Survey did a lot of testing and found some DVDs lated longer than others.
