I miss VHS! DVDs seem to have a lifespan of about 1 year max in my house (thanks, kids). Is there anything you can do to make DVDs last longer?

Well make sure your kids put them back in the case when finished...
I know what you mean because my little brothers and sister pretty much destroy every CD & DVD we had...
Mainly because they never put them back in the case they just threw them on top of the TV on the floor etc.

Thanks for your answer. +2 for your efforts. Yeah. It's the whole "Make sure your kids...." part which falls down in your argument.
Make sure your kids do not behave like children?
