I've been collecting and saving pics - videos forever. Recently I have noticed some of my videos are starting too corrupt on my computer and on some of my flashdrives. Ive bought new flashdrives thinking they were bad but they are also corrupting on my computer. I have old videos of me and my buds fishing, pets, family stuff, most of the pics are good but the vids corrupt the quickest. I cant replace these because ive had too delete my SD cards in my camera(thought I had secure storage.) for being full.
Will burning my pics and vids too dvd's make them more secure?

the bad bad really bad news is:
if the data stream became corrupted anywhere on any storage medium for any reason, and that's the only copy, it's toast.
the really expensive news is,,, a good professional editor may be able to 'rescue' the data with minimal drop outs, etc.
it is remotely possible that "new" technology is having issues reading "perfectly good but old" technology. it would be a major exception to the rule in these kinds of situations.
burning a good copy to CD/DVD is the best alternative at this time.
no, they say that doesn't last forever either - but it's like 50 years....
