I'd guess that i have to copy the DVD-R after 10 years.
(Verbatim "advertices" with a lifetime of 20 or 100 years. But i don't
believe that)
By that time there is a new media (My current future-vision sees
Blu-Ray) and i would copy the DVD-R anyway, so this is no problem at
all.

Mostly never. But i look EVERYTHING before i burn it. So i've seen
everything at least once. :-)
Up to now i only (re)watched a handlfull of Movies and 2 complete
series.

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as
bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer
wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated,
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
