Unfortunately, the link brings up a text-only document with its substantive
content in graphics. It appears that the scope is pressed discs, not
recordable ones; there are many lesser questions which apply.

I do not want to appear to be a curmudgeon here. I have pursued questions
of longevity of recordable optical media for some time and have not found
better references - but neither have I found any which led to usable
answers for the obvious questions.
