How long does the disc last for? Is there a recommended period?

As long as the disc is still functioning in neutralizing the acid, you should be fine. Each pack it comes with one, So I just replaced it everytime I get a new pack. You can tell the disc is working when you see bubbling when it touches the liquid

I'm not sure what you mean by "disc". If you mean the bottle which disinfects, then it is recommended that you change it will each bottle. When I used one beyond that period I found it took longer and longer (as in more hours per night) to neutralise the solution, resulting in some irritation to the eye when putting in the lens.

The case is supposed to be replaced every time you open a new bottle of solution. Every bottle I have ever bought comes with a new case so you don't have to purchase them separately. This one package with two big bottles of solution and a little travel bottle comes with two cases.

I only use one disk per bottle. It may last a little longer, but it's easier to remember this way and you avoid any burning eyes from non-neutralized solution.

I would not go over the recommendation, so you should change the disc with each bottle.

I have had mine about 6 months and it worked fine to begin with but recently it has stopped registering all but a few dvds. I plan to see if they will warranty it.

Like all DVD recordings, they should last indefinitely. I never had a problem with data on these disk.

Yes. I haven't encountered any issues. These are top notch disc's. I've used them in several PC's including my older MacPro and G5 desktops. I don't have a MacBook. I haven't had any bad disc's as of yet. I still have over half of the 200 I purchased... but I think I would've had at least one go by now if the QC was lousy. Remember that the best name disc's can have bad runs, and vis versa. IMO we are at the mercy of luck in many cases. All you can do is find a "currently" high rated product, and get it fast before they rest on their laurels! I hope I didn't get too off subject for you here? But I like these discs!

depending on the wear level a 64 GB drive should last a basic install a decently long time. as long as you limit the write-wear that you stress on it, it will survive.

I have had mine for several months and love them. I had a disc holder that required sleeves and they did scratch my disk. These have a small grabber so that you are not digging for your disk. I intend to buy 4 more for the rest of my DVD'S and some for our games. Very happy customer.:-)

Theoretically you may have to buy newer versions though I am still using version 11 and it is still receiving updates so it really boils down to when they decide to stop updating the older versions. In my experience it seems like you will at least get about 4 years out of it, but probably more than that, most newer bluray discs I have seen don't use the newer versions of bluray copy protection anyways. Personally I'm going to upgrade to 14 because after using the trial I found it opens alot faster than 11 and seems to be a smoother experience. Also 11 doesn't work in win 8 media center, I don't blame power dvd though because win 8 wasn't out when I bought it and it worked fine in win 7.

You don't have to buy the discs, you can download it online. You do have to pay an initial cost, but when you do, it comes with 30 days play time included. Afyerwards you just pay the sub.

Recommendation is 24 hours. I routinely play them after 6 hours with no apparent ill effects.

I have had it for almost a year and have not replaced it yet....if you keep it clean it lasts a long time depending upon how much its used.

I installed one in my laptop over the summer. So far, I've read and written both DVDs and BDs without a single problem. This drives seems reliable so far and does a good job. It can be a bit noisy when locating data on a disk, but not so much that it's an issue for me.

I don't notice a big difference in the two disc. Just be careful to only tap your foot with the device... Don't hold it in one spot or will hurt!

I first installed two of them in April, 2014. They have both been used heavily for reading BD and DVD material without any issues. Both have also been used to write DVD's without any issues, but that has been limited. They drives appear to be well-balanced, and run quietly through all speeds. I also have not had any issues ejecting disks, even those that were scratched and otherwise defective. Overall, I'd call these drives "a safe purchase".

I have had mine for 7-8 months, and one before that on another trick for a year. I was very pleased with both, and would not hesitate to buy another.

Yes, because the content on the disc is permanent. Just make sure that when you order it used that it comes with the second disc, and also make sure that the disc isn't too scratched up.

It's just a one year subscription. It starts counting down the day it's installed. About a week before it expires your computer will pop up a message that it's about to expire and you can immediately renew online but the online prices are usually $20 more than what you can buy the disc for on Amazon.

I haven't tried it on Blu Rays so i don't know. It does a good job on DVD's and CD's and PS2. I only use the machine for about 30 minutes at a time. It will clean about 3 discs in 30 minutes. I heard that if you use it for more than 30 minutes at a time, it will wear the drive out. I have cleaned well over a hundred and have had no problems. Won't repair discs that are too deeply scratched.
