I have never encountered laserrot but my laserdiscs are kept in a climate controlled room where its never too hot or too cold and all my LD are stored in their sleeves

I would wager to say just keep them out of areas with too much of an extreme temp (too hot or too cold) and be careful when you handle them (think handling a record) and you should be A-OK

And make sure you store them standing up right (like you would a 12" record) DO NOT lay/pile them on their side

Composite out to DVD recorder in. I'd say go the SCART route. I've never really liked the s-video/composite crossover cables.
