I assume that it's for places that aren't moist? So my dry area will keep dvds better than humid areas?

Definitely. Keep them dry, cool and in the dark.

well this is interesting
i have no clue about the lifespan of a dvd but however i when i tried to use the cds i had like years ago it did give errors and jams so i can't see it well enough i wonder if dvds are the same?
however about the market life of dvd i don't think it'll die anytime soon not unless blueray becomes affordable at a reasonable price

The transition between VHS and DVD was a lot different from DVD to BD, since it was really analog to digital, but since DVDs are still a digital format, they're likely to not be phased out as quickly. There's going to be a niche for DVDs for a long time.
