Fwiw, bluray degradation with time isn't an actual known issue. Old cds have issues that leave then very vulnerable to scratches, and the reflective backing oxidizes leading to disk rot, but both things were effectively solved by the time bluray came around.

Maybe if you're concerned about the 200yr lifespan, store them in an argon environment, but you're probably not

Well surprisingly I’ve got 4-5 dvd’s which are skipping chapters without any scratches on the back and now also 1 blu-ray doing that.

That’s why I feel like it’s important to know that your movies shouldn’t be expected to last for a lifetime if you don’t back them up.

Dvds were still 90s technology. They can have issues for sure. But they always did do it. It's not a developing problem. Often, just bad manufacturing

But your bluray issue is more than likely an aging laser more than an issue with the disk.

You're correct to say it's better to backup, but honestly, blurays should be expected to last a lifetime if you aren't keeping them in extreme conditions or going at them with power tools.
