longetivity of dvd's and cd's

How long should a music cd last? I have several albums I bought in stores years ago. Well I never listen to them anymore so I was going to sell them. The problem is I was checking all of them to make sure they work and out of 12 cd's, only 1 of them works. They have hardly been used and not to many scratches on them. Did they do that because they set for so long? Is there anything I can do to make them work again or are they garbage?

Now for the DVD question, if I transfer a VHS movie to a DVD, how long will that DVD last? What will last longer VHS or DVD? What about a store bought DVD movie, how long will it last?
