I’m planning on ripping mine and putting them on dvd-r before they become unusable. I have to be quick tho since I need to get dvd-r DL and a dvd-r burner

i have never had a disc with bronze discoloration. i had a few with holes

Do digital code giveaways like first come first serve

The 1st season of Ripper Street is pretty good.

Bought mine day one ZERO rot plays perfect.. It's funny I have never encountered Disc rot of any sort in my 10,000 Movie collection

Do you think we can get a refund?😅

Unfortunately, DVD and, to a certain extent, Blu-ray/UHD customers are now experiencing what us laserdisc collectors had to deal with with certain pressing plants. I seriously doubt any metal-based platter sandwiched between two plastic glued "protectors" has the longevity that was ever claimed (I think it was suppose to be around 100 years). Even proper storage can't stop a disc that's prone to laser rot and can only delay its eventual demise. It's sad, but I doubt we'll ever see a physical format that isn't CD/DVD in execution since streaming services have devoured the market. Yeah, there are a bunch of boutique companies fighting the good fight, but many of their catalogs are laughably small and will eventually fall to the streaming juggernaut. Your best bet is to rip them, preferably to an ISO container to preserve all aspects of any given disc.

this is not discrot.. it's a manufacturing error ... it should not affect play

In the words of the good book...., No, not that one, the other one. "Don't Panic!" This might not be DVD Rot. It could be PVC leaching. Several years ago I had similar issues with, funnily enough, Fox releases of "Fight Club" and "The Abyss". These were the original 2 disc releases, pressed in Australia. Within a year of so of purchase, they began glitching. Cleaning (a quick spray of isopropyl alcohol) resurfacing discs failed to fix the issue. Then, one day a region one disc from Warner Bros' " Fringe" glitches. I saw that the disc surface looked foggy. So I opened the set to check the other discs. That's when I noticed a viscus gooey substance on the empty disc tray. DVD cases and their inserts are made of pvc, which under certain environmental conditions can change its' state and migrate onto the disc. Staining its' surface. Two microfibre cloths (wash/dry), a smallish drop of dishwashing liquid (spread across the playing surface and left on a minute) and firm radial (inner ring, to outer edge) strokes around the disc under a warm tap/fawcet. Dry, check and possibly repeat the process. Until You end up with a restored disc. Repeated the process with the "Fight Club" and "The Abyss" disc. Voila! Both now play perfectly. I hope this is the case with Your discs. It's worth a try.

Damn people on this comment section are stubborn the disc rot and this type of issues exists just because it doesn’t happen to you doesn’t mean it’s fake news

Mine are fine

Looks like I got lucky. I checked mine and none show any disc rot.:)

I have the 2004 DVD box set. It looks fine. But yeah, it also happened to Fox discs. I lost my copy of Fantastic Four (2005) extended edition. A friend of mine lost seasons 2 and 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And The Marine.

The Harmy Despecialized Versions on Blu-ray . A fan restoration about 2013 they are the best and now the 774k restoration but no 4k Discs yet as far as I know. The Manufacturer of the disc and the fault lies there

New Discs today have this issue, looks likes Disc rot, I think it's the manufacturing process.

I I got those same DVDs and all three of my DVDs has been working fine I first got them in 2004 and I had them ever since and they are still working great the ones you got is possibly they are a bootleg copy because of their messing up like that they are not the original ones that was released back in 2004 because that's when I got mine

I just checked all mine and they look as immaculate and flawless as they did when I took the wrapper off on release day in 2006.

Stupid question but... are all the dvd's made in same place, I mean the region code wise 🙄 seen many videos and articles about disc rot, most of them are from US or around same area. And Australi. Havent seen much conversations about this else where, like Europe ?

I Do Know That DVD 📀 😏 Do Scratch On Disc Which Will Ruin And Damage Picture And Sound Quality

I Have Never Heard Of Disc Rot Or Even What That Means 🤔

Related to this & again Fox... My first 3 seasons of 24 (PAL) went the same way with most of it unwatchable as of last year. Thankfully Prison Break and Millennium which are also Fox are fine.

Out of anxiety I went to check mine. Thankfully mine are okay, but disc rot is a huge fear of mine. Wherever you store your disc I would advise getting a dehumidifier. ASAP! I am so sorry you are dealing with this. If you have a place that fixes dvds get them to it. sometimes disc rot can be stopped by resurfacing the disc this is for DVDs though. Don't resurface your Blu-rays. Update: I ripped all of them to my computer to be on the safe side

I'll have to check mine, and by the way if you also have vhs copies as I do make sure to play them periodically and don't store them in one position over extended periods of time because they can become unwatchable

Sorry but looks like improper handling or storage maybe heat damage looked at mine mine are clean mint looking condition no marks scratches scuff marks no sign of rot whatsoever

Yeah I don't think that's discs rot sometimes discs can just be discolored when discs rot happens the discs looks like see-through plastic and it usually starts at the edges sometimes they'll be dots on the discs to sometimes that's how the disc is made in the factory though with the dots on it put the case here it's not discs rot it's discoloration

“dIsC rOt” isn’t real.

*keep in dark cold places dude! A lot of hot countries there are people who lost or thrown their collections away* ☹️

It happened to me with some dvds and blurays 😢

I'll check mine after I finish this video!

Frankly, I blame George Lucas in part and Disney now as well because they refused to give the fans what they wanted which was to have the original versions available separately or included as part of a Blu-ray or 4K set with the altered versions. All of this disc rot nonsense could have been avoided.

Blast! Now, I'll have to check my original 1977, 1980, and 1983 versions of 'Star Wars', 'The Empire Strikes Back', and 'Return of the Jedi'. Yikes! It's annoying too considering how much more difficult it is to acquire those editions and the cost as well as the cost of other movies in one's collection. None of us wants to constantly have to check for disc rot or wonder if a movie is going to play properly on a movie night with friends or family. That really, really sucks. I've got a bad feeling about this...

I had these editions. I was even less lucky than you and many in the comments - mine stopped working after less than a year of owning them. I took reasonable care of them, the same as the others in my collection that still played perfectly fine after much time and replays.

Get the 4Ks. Worth every penny.

Goddammit! I have this set, but I haven't watched them for a long while, I just checked them and my discs look WORSE than yours :-( At least I ripped them to mkv years ago. If you want HD versions of the ORIGINAL versions, check 4K77, 4K80 and 4K83 or Harmy's despecialized editions. There are unfortunately no official at least HD versions of the original versions.

I see nothing

Discs did not rot

I need to check my discs 😮

Yea disc rot happens in different forms. No way to prevent it. Its happening to video game disc, a lot of dvds and some blurays. Just keep your collection in a cool place. It helps but thats all you can really do. It sucks.

I have seen this on another copies, this could be really bad, we could loose the theatrical versions of the original trilogy on physical for good!

Thanks for the heads up

Exactly why im updating all my movies with bluray versions. Bluray is far more resistant to this problem.

My copy of Dead Space on the Xbox 360 got disc rot.

That’s not disc rot.

Mine don't have this issue, but I will probably make an ISO of the discs before it does.

I had the original 1977,1980,1983 versions and they did the same thing

Exactly why physical media is not all innocent after all. The best is too back them up digitally before its too late physical media eventually deteriorates

It kind of looks like heat damage to me. By any chance, were they stored close to a radiator or on top of equipment that produces any heat? If you are able to, definitely make back ups if you can. Thanks for sharing this video!

Oh Shit... I gotta make backups.

I have the laserdiscs and even those don't have discrot for me

Strange because my discs are still fine and they still read fine on my PS5
