I had a conversation, recently, about how some of the practical skills makers (like knitting and crochet) are offering more lessons on DVD, so that they can actually monetize their work, rather than letting YouTube feed them a drip. At one point, the per-publication video delivery platforms were fantastic, but I find myself wanting to get those lessons on DVD, and then rip them to my own media server. As people point out DVD's aren't "forever," but honestly, nothing is. At least with the content on DVD, I have a chance of keeping the media.
If you buy DVDs new and store them well, they’ll last nearly forever. I buy mostly used and while I’ve seen my fair share of disc rot, my copy of Se7en is so old, the back is basically an ad for the concept of DVD and it plays fine.
I didn't think about the topic of storing them well. Like so many things, they just exist in the same space that I do (in the house), and that's probably better than a shed or the garage.
