AIUI, it relates to designed life of the media. For most CDs/DVDs it is pretty short (a year or two I think. And the glue from the back of the label will eat away your data. Don't use them.)

FYI: I was curious about the cost. $122 for 100-pack at http://www.datamediastore.com/kodak-cd-r-29150.html.
I wonder if there are more makers claiming similar durability? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
