But which DVDs did he use? The no-name $0.75 ones from Walmart? Like  
with everything else, you get what you pay for. I have always been  
using good-quality, branded CDs and DVDs, mostly the "gold" ones from  
Kodak. When we moved this summer, I decided that I had way too many  
discs around and copied them all onto an external HD. Not a single CD  
or DVD had problems, and they were up to 12 years old. They had all  
been burned on PCs which have long since been recycled, but my iMac  
had no problems with them.
