@@Cuervo79 No, that would help in preserving them but whatever damage is there would be permanent. Some won't play at all.

@@ClaytonCaplingerProductions so sad, it happened to me with some dvds of the boston legal season 2

If I have a DVD with playback issues usually at the same spot, are you saying that I should inspect the printed art on the opposite side of the recording and inspect for scratches or chipped ink? What can I use to repair it before throwing the disc away?

I understand what you mean. The sound effect I used in the video was ripped from the cd I had shown and was imported into my finished video. Originally, I intended to play the sound effect on a cd player but my Sony Walkman stopped working recently. Initially, the video was supposed to be uploaded on the same day as the mushroom video in 2015, but copyright claims from History Channel delayed my upload. As a result of that, the video has been on my channel for months and has only recently started gaining viewership. I have nothing to gain from debunking an older video like that since my channel is too small to monetize.

@@ClaytonCaplingerProductions you should still post video of you playing it in a ps3 or something. You don’t have to use a Sony Walkman to hear a cd man. You actually stand to gain everything and there can be no naysayers

Not true for everyone, I too have a few thousand and probably have about 30 or so with this issue.

@@holydado are they Warner bros?

I’ve tried doing what you’ve suggested, a lot of time the computer will refuse to copy the complete disc.

@@holydado who says that you have to do the whole complete disc..... just take what you need...... if it's the movie then take the movie only..... if you want to add special features add that also..... skies the limit and each one of us has a different approach...... I only need the movie and special features..... and I am happy

@@theantagonizer958 From what I have heard that is something that can be done depending on which discs you have. It does not matter to me much since I plan on replacing some of my dvds at some point.

@@_PRESTON_762 Yes, it should work with an iPhone. It comes with a 3.5mm XLR adaptor which may need an additional adapter to connect to the phone. I know IPhone uses lightning cables to connect since they got rid of the headphone port, the microphone should still work with the right adapter.

@@ClaytonCaplingerProductions Thank you

@@gumdroplandfilms Yes, I do use a disc buffing wheel and cleaning solution on them. I don't use it often unless a disc messes up or is heavily scratched. I also avoid doing it too much since it can damage them further. Most of them I plan on replacing at some point.

@@ClaytonCaplingerProductions for sure. I can tell by the pattern it leaves on the bottom. Never a good thing when they do that. Disc rot is rare and usually not the issue. Sometime the player itself has problems reading when they get older. I tend to use a game system that also plays Blu ray for my dvd’s. I also very rarely see disc rot in the thousands of discs I deal with every year at my shop. It’s rare, but I have seen it. It usually makes the bottom have a darker hue towards the edges of the disc.

I would honestly love to break down your video because none of your examples are disc rot. I do have some great examples in my collection and believe it or not, the early blu rays were kinda worse when it came to disc rot.

@@gumdroplandfilms I admit the discs I showed could be in much worse shape, their appearance and playing condition certainly made me think they had early rot. They will not work in my Sony blu ray player or my PC.

I also have Exorcist 3 and it still works. I don't have a copy of Mars Attacks.

@@ClaytonCaplingerProductions my John Carpenter fog it got disc rotten but it's still play

I agree that most of the WB discs I have are made in Mexico however, these discs are region 1 rather than 4 or else they would not run in my player.

I have a Roku but my wifi is unreliable at times.

Ok genius, where would you stream each of these, right now?

@@dlarge6502 The Warner Bros titles I mentioned are probably streamed on Max since it is a subsidiary of that company. Braveheart is probably on Paramount + since it is a Paramount release. Public Enemies is likely on Peacock since it is owned by Universal. Lastly, I'm not sure who owns the streaming rights to Before And After since Hollywood Pictures is defunct.

There’s hundreds of streaming sites right now. Really hard to keep track of what to watch if you have no physical media.

Yep you better not listen to too Much rock and roll 😂

Maybe at yard sales. All the thrift stores are charging 2 to 3 dollars. And regular used stores charge 5 to 8 dollars. And if it's a rare title it can be anywhere from 15, 20 to even 50 on eBay. There was a time where you could get them for a dollar regularly but they're becoming more collectible apparently.

Now I'm happy that I've replaced most of my favorites on Blu-ray and 4K. I haven't had issues with my DVDs though.

There's a huge swath of titles from WB that were pressed at a plant in PA, and they did not follow the proper procedure and now they are ALL rotting. Damn Fool Idealistic Crusader has 2 videos about it

​@@richconroy5559I'm pretty sure this happened to their HD DVD titles as well back when they were still manufacturing those.

The cardboard discs don’t have disc but they do skip it’s been a ongoing thing on its own

It's a pressing plant issue. EVERYTHING from that plant is rotting

I have well over a thousand discs of dvds and blu rays and not one of them look like this. I've been collecting for over 20 years. I also think this guy is doing something critically wrong.

@@billwilliams4247 agreed every movies I own looks exactly the same day as I purchased them. I’ve taken such good care of them and over 20+ years I’ve been collecting movies only one didn’t work, It was a Blu-ray That somehow was probably manufactured incorrectly because it stopped working like six months after I purchased it. People claiming they’re having problems seriously need to learn how to handle their disc properly.

You are both being blinded by your own experiences, just because it hasn’t happened to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. To claim this guy could be doing something really wrong is stupid. I’ve had the same experience has this guy on a number of disc that look perfectly fine but refuse to play. Do a little research guys, this is a real issue that more than a few people have experienced.

@@holydado I don’t know how to make this any simpler for you. DVD have a protective layer. If you buff it and remove that protective layer, your disc is more prone to things like disc rot because air will get in to it. Judging from the video where he’s showing his DVDs, it is very clear. He does not know how to handle them. You don’t have to take my word for it go ask any person that is a serious movie collector or music collector CDs they’re all gonna tell you what I just said. If you handle your disc correctly, it can last anywhere from 50 to 100 years.

@@michaeldietz2648 The data layer is sandwiched in between 2 layers of poly-carbonate. You would have to remove a significant amount of material before you start to expose the data layer. I would expect this guy only buffed these discs in an attempt to get them to work. Chemical instability in the data layer or de-lamination of the layers significant enough to allow for oxidation of the data layer are the most likely causes of disc rot.

with some discs can just happen overtime. Used to see it all the time when I was collecting laserdiscs.

I'll give it a shot

Me Too.

@@wonderjadden6929 even with the vhs tapes

Doesn't always work. Old severe oxidation (or other chemical contamination) of the metal recording surface will be visible to the naked eye. Visual inspection of "previous viewed" discs is still recommended for any damage to the plastic protective layer the laser reads through. And some plastics also turn yellow on DVDs which can block laser light when it becmes dark.

I’ve had sealed DVDs have this issue

Not to that extent.....I have hundreds of DVDs and only two discs are affected by "disc rot" or manufacturing defects. Both of them were special editions of "Terminator" and "Silence of the lambs" by MGM.....these are the two that I'm at least aware of. But in the US it seems to be a huge problem....but not in europe....at least not yet.

Yes it is much like buffing. However with higher density discs, like Blu-Ray and 4K Blu-Ray, the "paste grit" or abrasive needs to be as fine as possible.

@@weldonyoung1013 Some use a little toootpaste on cotton buds and rub gently under water. You need to know what you are doing though

@@artyfhartie2269 wouldn't think fine polish of toothpaste would remove enough plastic to make even a very light scratch disappear. You're right about being careful - just like cleaning a disc use radial movements.

@@weldonyoung1013 If toothpaste can clean enamel on teeth, it can remove scratches on plastic and more

I've never heard of much issue outside of Warner releases. Personally i think i would've kept everything except warner

Yah that sounds like BS, how much is giant movie studios paying you to spread misinformation to try and get people on the streaming??? I have well over 1000 movies and they all work perfectly fine only one movie didn’t work in 20 years. 

@@michaeldietz2648 💯

Okay so Warner is the only one that I heard had has a big problem. Why is that a reason to get rid of all of your movies. Also this isn't a problem with Blu-rays that I know of. And with me personally I haven't had any problem with my Warner DVD so far. If all 50 of your Warner movies were bad I'm wondering where you keeping them in a garage?

My definition, if Warner Brothers DVDs are bad, so are MGM and RKO. This involves thousands of movies.
