I know some on my CD-R's with music that I burned about 8-10 years ago no longer work or skip during playback...will the same thing happen to DVD-R's?

Yes, the data will "slide" on the surface of the disk. I forget where I read it, but some study was done and found that magnetic tape is still the safest media for backing up data.
You are probably aware that the CD/DVDs that you burn are not like the ones you buy. The data is not stamped in grooves. There is some kind of substance on the surface that the data is recorded on to. This degrades rather quickly.

It probably final longer than you do. Pressed DVDs (those you got at keep with video clips on) will final everywhere between 50-3 hundred years you may by no skill positioned on out a DVD by way of enjoying it using fact it is study by way of a laser, not something touches the DVD Dye-based DVD-R and DVD+R final around 25 to 250 years some solid dye formulations like phthalocyanine and azoa can provide a DVD a lifespan around a hundred years or much extra

No one knows for sure, but it appears as though DVD-Rs may only last 5-10 years, depending on the initial quality of the CD-R. The best way to preserve media at the present time is to use archival magnetic tape.

Yes eventually. 8-10 years is low based on manufacturer claims as to how long they should work for, but it all depends on the environment they are kept in. (For example, if they are left in the car they might be exposed to widely varying temperature changes or sunlight.)
DVD-R's are claimed to have a longevity of 30-100 years. I believe CD-R's are about the same. RW disks are somewhat less.

Yes!
However with the experience gained over the years, I would expect the new discs to last much longer. Perhaps 30 years
