What exactly is DVD rot? I own a bunch of DVDs that look like the color (on the actual disk!) changes (some look like swirls!) but I don't have any problems playing them. The only disk I had that went bad was "Contact", but that was a major problem with a number of those disks...
Still waiting patiently for that one to make it onto HD-DVD.  |
Dvd rot occurs mostly on dual layer disc when the glue between the layers seperates but it can also be bought on by lamination which is caused by a poor disc hub in dvd jewel cases.Some of these hubs are so tight that it can damage the outer layer of the disc when you take it off and put it on.Dust and moisture can get in this layer and cause the disc to rot.Fortuanly a lot of studios use better packaging now then they use to.One example of a poor hub I can point out is my copy of the Haunted Mansion.You can't hardly get it off the hub.
