My untested concern with freezing them would be potentially causing a
full or partial delamination during either the freezing or thawing
process.  I have noticed some DVDs are easy to delaminate by simply
flexing them a few times. I would have to imagine that there might be
an expansion/contraction cycle to worry about during the freeze process.

I'm going to stick with a "cool dark" (but not freezing) place offsite
in my case.
