I archive to DVD all the time and never have any problems. Been doing it
for a couple three years now.

What are you using to burn with? (Hardware & software)

Are you verifying your burns? Are you using stick-on labels? Are you
trying to read in the same drive that wrote the DVDs? Have the DVDs seen
direct sunlight for any length of time? Have you used and weird
corrosive markers on the DVDs? (Sharpies seem to work dandy, but I keep
hearing that they are a danger. I roll my media over every couple of
years, so I'm not too worried about it.)
