Hi everyone im new to DVD file so just like to say hi!

well i got Buffy Season 4 (region 4) just the other day and noticed that on the first 3 discs they had strange white marks i thought it must be dvd rot and went back and got a replacement same prob there. looked at 2 friends copys and same problems with theres. Could this be dvd rot or just simply white marks on the disc? thanks

Welcome to the forum oddbodd!

Does the disc have any playback problems?

I think I heard something about problems with the prints used for some episodes of that set, so that's probably all it is. No defect in the DVDs themselves, just the source material. Could be wrong though.

Oddbod,

Sounds like a pressing issue but not a DVD Rot issue.

Let us know how all the disks play.

oh ok if its pressing issue would it normally affect play ive been thru all the discs no problem

Ok, it the disks play fine, then everythings cool. I'd still hang onto the receipt though just in case this turned out to be a very early form of DVD Rot. But I don't think so.
