They only last so long. It depends on how they are stored and the quality of materials used. Extremes of temperature and humidity cause a breakdown of that reflective layer that the label is or lies on. It's the label that eventually breaks down degrading the information and rendering it beyond repair ; not just the scratches on the clear side. Storing them in the plastic sheaths - Not the original plastic holders they come in - lessens the amount of damage from flexing the disk.

Yes, there are some that were made to only play a certain number of times, they were meant to be non-returnable rentals. I don't know if they still make them that way or not.

dvd's do deteriorate over time. it would really depend on how long you have had it. also, if it was scratched, it will make them deteriorate a lot quicker. you will probably have to buy new copies of those dvd's that won't play.

It depends on how much they've been used. Age shouldn't really be a deciding factor...it might also be a fault in the disc. It's not common, but it can happen.

Depends on how you care for them I think. Age shouldn't be a problem but wear and tear definitely can be. Too much heat is definitely bad for them.
