Is there a shelf life for cloned DVD's?

Is there a shelf life for cloned DVD's? Using the Verbatim DL from Singapore, copying movies, is there a limited shelf life? I thought these backup copies would last as long as a retail version?

No one can put a definite time on the life of a DVD. In theory, they will last forever.

There is for all blank media, despite manufacturer's claims. And some blank media will degrade faster than others. For DL blank media, there's really no other blank media that you should be using anyway. Keep your media away from heat, humidity, and UV.

They should be playable for a few years.
