This is certainly true. I think the cool storage is fine but it should
also be dry.


Sam -

Some of us don't have the advantage of a dry climate. Here in Arizona
things are usually quite dry, for example. But I have half of my DVDs
stored on the coast in Maine, where it is quite humid at least 9 months
of the year. I assume it would be helpful to put my DVDs in some sort
of waterproof box - even a big Tupperware box - and toss in a couple of
the "Do Not Eat" silica gel packets that come in bags of rice crackers
and other crispy foods?
