I believe that a 3-to-5 second burst will kill the CD/DVD, but not
the microwave. Going to 10 seconds may be pushing the envelope, and
longer is really risky. The "light show" - sparking - demonstrates
that microwave energy is being reflected by the shiny side of the CD/
DVD, instead of being absorbed by water molecules in the object (what
normally happens with food,etc.) - too much of that will bounce
enoghg energy back at the transmitting circuits to fry them - it's
the same reason why you are never to put alumin(i)um or or steel into
a microwave, even as a thin, loose cover for another container...
