I have frequently found that masters stored on CDRs and DVDRs, even those made by the oldest and most trusted brands, have gone bad by simply being stored!  These discs were stored in plastic cases, and 65 - 80 degrees room temperature and at low humidity.  Some lasted less than a year! 

It became imperative to find the best and safest media available for optical storage.  Right now, there appears nothing better than MAM-A blanks.  The "-A" stands for ARCHIVE!
