how many times can i earase and reburn a DVD+RW before it goes bad?

im useing alchohal 120% and i have earased a DVD+RW about 4 times and reburned, and it still works great, i want to know, will it ever go bad or can i keep doign this to it? thanks

 

The life expectancy of a DVD+RW is projected to be 50 years according to Verbatim for archival purposes.

As to the number of times it can be written to , the consensus seems to be approx "" Rewritable DVD format, great for testing your DVD videos, write/rewrite up to 1000 times "" (Source Pioneer Technical Dept.)

 

Xen253 you got the right idea keep testing with this format and you can not go wrong.

 

I own two or three cheap Imation DVD+RWs that I use for my "experiments". I must have burned em 50 different times and they are still working. I think Jeanc1 is "write"!

 

fasfrank let us know if you get to a 1000 in the near future your disc's may out last me.I'm only 35 so lets see how we go.

 

Grinzzzzz... I have CD-Rw that are near the 300 mark .... still going strong ...!!

 

Good on your Jeanc1 like to hear of people getting there moneys worth.

 

I use em only when I think I'm going to have a burn error, or if I just want to see how one of my projects is going to look on the TV. I just don't like 1x burns which is all these are capable of. Aren't some newer DVD RWs faster on reburns? Doing a whole DVD at 1X is really boring.
