HD-DVD I have 2 movies from Warner Brothers. 1. Matrix HD-DVD 2. Under siege hd-dvd. Both rot

I have several DVD's, not just WB, that not a fingerprint or scratch on them, won't play properly any longer. So the term is "disc rot", huh? I have used several players, some older ones will work better, but some are just lost. This happened to many of my "Battlestar Galactica" reboot DVD's (Universal) bought season by season; and there is not a streaming alternative for the show. Nothing like taking mint care of my DVD collection and it just goes down all on its own. I still much prefer physical media over streaming ("Opps! Something went wrong!"}, but setting down to relax and watch an old DVD and it freezing up is a good way to get riled up instead of enjoying the movie.

in reality no matter how good of a quality disc or how well you take care of it it will eventually die even without the disc rot issue. All optical media as well as magnetic media will slowly die. Its because of the sun itself. The sun emits solar radiation that will destroy them unless they are buried underground to block harmful radiation. Still no excuse for these companies creating faulty dvds.

Clayton. Make a video showing you play the cd and I can believe you a lot easier dude. Otherwise I can think you’re just trying to get relevant by debunking a successful video.

I have 600 snapcase DVDs and I haven't had a single issue with playing any of them. I had one that was badly scratched but I was able to get a replacement online.

I have the exact same WB snapcase cardboard DVD release of TRAINING DAY. No visual damage, but it doesn't read the disc for about 15-20minutes after halfway of the movie. It will try reading and skip about full 20minutes ahead. Regardless of players I tested :D Disc looks minty and shiny no scratches. Shame, cause I kinda think those cardboard snapcases are kinda neat. Can't remember if I had another of those doesn't work. But, I've heard particularly those releases have the most problems.

Now I'm worried about my older dvds😧

That’s not disc rot bro

THANK YOU!!!! I really do feel much better now. I also feel a little embarrassed that I was completely fooled by the mushroom hunter video and thought it was real.

THANKS I CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT NOW

I have over 1000 DVDs/blurays and I've only ever had one disc rot on me. This issue is nowhere near as common as the video makes it out to be. I even have dollar store DVDs from 20 years ago that still play just fine!

Yup!!! That is the sound. Good job on a successful hunt.

With the whole disc rot..... I get around it 2 ways..... 1. I make a digital file for myself 1st.... and 2. I make two additional copies on dvds immediately after the digital copy to counter the rot if that happens (but I like thinking ahead for those worse case scenario's)..... and I never had any issues since..... if the dvd rot happens I still keep the original to show I still have the original before switching to the dvd's exclusively.... that way I can prove the videos are mine and original.... the rotted disc I put in a sealed zip lock bag in the dvd covert use the recorded disc's exclusively....... sometime a few extra steps saves a lot of time trying to recover a lifetime of collecting something that are not readily available down the road

Can you return these discs to the company’s and get a replacement if the movies are still in print

Can u connect an iphone to it?

the terminator 1984 original MGM cardboard DVD has issues with "disc rot" just found out myself with a sealed 2x DVD from ebay. it's a physical media collector's nightmare.

Thanks for the fear porn! Please take better care of your disc!

Looking at all the discs in the video, you appear to be using a disc doctor or something like it to repair your discs. I would suggest not using that as it actually creates permanent damage to the protective coating on the discs.

Looking at your European Vacation disc, I can see that it has been buffed poorly. At some point in the past someone used a disc doctor on it. You can see the pattern in the light. Very bad for discs and it appears that most of the wear is focused near the center ring where the disc starts reading from. In my opinion, not discs rot, but definitely has wear in the places that are vital to it’s functionality. I have several disc rotted discs in my collection, but they all have a certain hue to bottom of the disc. I also have a couple of thousand dollar disc resurfacing machines that will make discs look new. Not sure what you are using. You may need to show your process of buffing discs if you haven’t already. I own a video store and deal with disc repair for customers every day and I am just trying to help. Disc rot is a real thing, but that’s not always the issue.

This movie was on the "forbidden" shelf of my super-christian home growing up. I snuck it one night, maybe 1999 as a 9 year old, and this movie absolutely terrified me. This scene in particular. I don't know why, it's not scary yet it's the stuff of nightmares. Now I do this dance at my children. My youngest gets it. I start this dance at him and he covers his head and screams at me to stop. Of course I do, my oldest can play along with the dance. But to my youngest, as to me, it's existential dread somehow manifest. Such a strange film.

I start collecting my DVDs in 2003 they not stretch or broke I I had them over 20 years

My exorcist 3 still work Mars attacks all snapper case

I have my Warner Brothers DVDs for 20 years and it still work

My WB dvds from early 00's are ok, these are Region 4 made in Mexico.

Most of these are fairly cheap on blu-ray.

Just stream it

I haven’t had problems with Warner bros but I had it with FOX /mgm

Thank goodness most of these I'm upgraded already to Blu-ray. I have the full screen version of Showtime lol Showtime does not have a Blu-ray. I really like that movie. Hopefully Kino puts it out on blu.

Not as bad as brainrot.

Tarzan destroying that bridge and they fall and get eaten by Alligators

Might be better off using a DVD recorder and copying the movie off a pre-recorded VHS tape. I've had good results doing this. The quality is pretty good.

I definitely use UA-cam way more than I watch movies/tv.

the only good thing about dvd's are that people are basically giving them away. you can get them for literal pennies.

I replaced a lot of my dvds with Blu-ray’s and 4Ks.

Clayton, THANKS For Trying to Inform ! From the sounds of it most of your exanples appear to be manufacturing defects. Problems encountered in the middle of the movie are from reading the middle tracks of the metal ring as the main feature is recorded on the disc from the inner circle to the edge. Nice of you the show the typical appearance of the rotting metal recording layer as it starts. Other than for the purposes of this video, what reason is there to keep "rotten" freature? When you buff a disc do you use the same micro size for all types of disc such as CD, DVD, & Blu-Ray? I had used an inexpwnsive machine to remove scratches from used DVDs, but it consumed too much time and gave up as it was not worth the effort.

It may also be the player. As the player gets older, it can't play certain dvds. You can test this by playing the same disk in your blu ray player. The blu ray can play them better.

I thought that it was just the WB 2006 thru 2009 cardboard case releases that were dry-rot casualties?

Disc rot is an extremely rare thing, I have well over 1000 movies and only one stopped working. To be honest with you it looks like you don’t know how to handle your disc, buffing a movie should be a last resort if it doesn’t work, because once you scratch the first layer of a DVD you are potentially putting cracks in the protective coating that will allow air to get in and rot your disc overtime.

I don’t have that issue

If its WB ask them in a email to replace them. They will replace it for free regardless of reciept just say you dont have it.

That's why I always check them before I buy them

are european PAL dvds suffering from this?

Sometimes a surface scratch will stop the disc from playing. In the past, rental stores used to fix them in a machine which used a paste

I tested around 50 Plus DVDs s from Warner Brothers. None of them play at this point I stopped collecting physical media I give away everything I had it was just a waste of money

One of my Val Lewton double features DVDs from Warners rotted and won't play past the logos. The crummy part is that one film, "I Walked With a Zombie," is not available on HD yet and I no longer own my laserdisc copy. Fortunately the other is on BD. I have only one other disc in my collection that rotted: "Trinity and Beyond," which won't even make it past the intro before breaking up into blocking and freezing up.

i have a few warner bros' cardboard snapper case from the early 200s, and those are one of the best quality discs i have. but mine is region 3, so i guess the quality and standard for these discs, even from the same studio, is not uniformed or properly standardized in all regions... 😞

I got out my Interview with the Vampire, cause it was a box case like in the video, played about half thru and it froze. I think that is the only box case like that that I have.

i have experienced this with my 4 favorites dvds my dirty hairy 4 favorites dvds(other than the first one) freeze at certain parts my clint eastwood 4 favorites comedies also freeze i pirated all of these because i feel like i was ripped off. if i pay for a movie it should last. i shouldn't have to pay for another copy that will most likely rot.

buffing and buffering are two different things.

What in the world?
