Off topic but I don't understand why you'd store dye based DVD for anything longer than a few months. And even then it needs backups on disk, and if important on tape. -R +R -RW +RW dye based optical media have a terrible shelf life. If these are commercially stamped media, they might last you 30+ years. Dye aren't worth spit.
