What exactly happened to the DVDs in the basement? That’s really interesting, indeed DVDs also claimed 100+ years of life span, but as you can see that’s only the theoretical maximal in perfect conditions, which don’t exist in real life, and the same thing happened to your DVDs can happen to Blu-Ray disks too
Burned DVDs use a dye that turns dark when hit with a laser. The dye was claimed to be stable for 100 years but wasn’t. Mdisc is different and should last longer.
