I'm in DVD manufacture, and I can confirm that DVD's are not designed to wear out. Thats not to say that if they get excessively scratched, or the reflective layer oxidizes or deterioates that they won't stop playing, but the technology is very simular to that of CD, although the construction of the disc is a little different.In fact we have press lines that can do both!
