With the british summer such as it is, it still gets pretty hot it my loft. I have a load of old videos competing for space with the DVDs.

So as per title realy. Don't want to wreck them, want to watch them when I'm 60, and laugh about the 'old' format !

I doubt whether the heat would be a problem. Sure they get pretty warm, but it is more a humid heat (i.e. you sweat your nads off!) rather than "in direct sunlight" heat.

As for the cold, i guess that it depends on what level of insulation you have below the storage area - you deffo don't want it freezing

Me, i bought a couple of swivel-racks from Argos, and stuck my old videos in them round the back of my telly!
