DVD rot

Hundreds of your Warner Bros DVDs probably don’t work anymore; updated with response from WBB
Due to the way WB manufactured their DVDs, virtually all discs pressed between 2006-8 are unplayable now.

I don’t have a a lot of DVDs anymore, but I do have some of the ones described in the article. Mostly old classic flicks…..

Without telling me, my wife gave away our old DVD player. Oh, well, we move on. It’s not like we had a collection of old movies.

@Piano-Dad said in DVD rot:
I always had a sneaking suspicion that the old vinyl format would prove more durable.
I was thinking about that too....
I have also recently been thinking about the importance of paper copies of books rather than digital. Sure, paper books can be burned, but it takes a lot more work than digitally editing an e-book or e-pub (after the fact, as is being tried these days...)
A DVD is a so-called "hard copy" but obviously more vulnerable than the physical groves of a vinyl record...

I did a lot of work on DVD plants/machinery over the years - pretty much up to when most companies moved production overseas. I remember the techs predicting that those discs wouldn’t last as the process they used was crap
