Useless how? I have DVDs that are over a decade old and still work just fine. Properly stored, DVDs should last between 50 and 100 years.
Did you stop to consider that maybe your DVD player is the problem, and not your DVDs? Due to their moving parts, DVD players will not last forever, and under heavy use may start having problems with their lens getting out of alignment within 3-5 years.
Otherwise, if you're looking at alternative storage methods, I don't know of anything right off the top of my head that would preserve the whole disc - that is, the movie, menus, languages, etc. Even then, that would be between 4 and 8GB. Yes, it should be possible to store that on a hard drive but even hard drives start to get iffy after 10 years (at best) Otherwise you could try dumping to thumbdrive (USB pen drive, whatever) but you'd have to buy separate drives for each movie/disc, which isn't really cost effective.
