What is the best way to store a DVD, horizontal or vertical?
I was told not to store a DVD horizontal for too long (about 5 years).
Apart from audiophile recordings on DVD / CD's and LPs obviouosly not bother me with the way the DVD is stored. If you is really the intention of knowing, the recommended method of LP is used to being no more than 10 LP's stacked horizontally (use higher numbers to press the stack depth) vertical storage is not recommended because they tend to warp over long durations of storage. With DVD and CD, this problem is present but at a minimum. So no matter how stored. However, audiophile discs, I have been told that the best way is to store in a sleeve paper (that support the entire disc and not just the center, like the conventional case) and on a cell surface with no more than 25 albums. This problem was addressed by Pioneer and actually had a CD player PD-75 Élite containing cd head down on a cookie company to avoid deformation and vibrations while it spins. However, as this is a very minor problem with CD and DVD, most players (even high end) do not even think about it and play the discs fine. So – keep them as you wish, provided that the area is free of dust, "the extremes of temprature 'free and moisture free. I can keep my discs vertically in their original cases.
