Officeworks Print Computers can put your camera photos onto a CD for $7.. You can put many 100 s easily..You can photo your old photos & add them..This can be put into a DVD player & watch all your photos- big screen.Ive made dozens,some with 500 camera photos..If worried about losing the CD make 2 CDs & send 1 to a relative to keep at home..Also makes a EXC present to give/ send .as they are very light in a envelope..
CDs have a very limited life. CDs are a bit pointless these days. I don't know one with a CD player. Also at 30+mb files that is only 23 photos per CD.
My last trip would require 174 CDs, & that's with my 11 year old camera!

I've put 500 photos on many my CDs & had some 5 yrs.They still fine.Im quite sure I cld redo some every 5-7 yrs..They're not intended to be like Disney-& played to death
CDs are more robust than a hard drive.
In any case with either medium , I would have a duplicate backup.
And write a new copy every 5 years, or a bit less.
Ive lost data due to CD / DVD bit rot and hard drives dying over the years.
DO not use the cheapest CD or DVD either.

I would keep transferring the data to the latest formats. Optical storage drives won't be around forever.
Magnetic storage is prone to mechanical problems, while flash based storage suffers from electronic problems, so don't save all your photos and movies to a single format.
