| | Posted: | | | | I've experienced disc rot on Laserdiscs but not on DVDs. The "rot" looks much different on a laserdisk, but then the manufacturing process is entirely different. Also, the "rot" took literally years to show, and was a result of age and improper storage ... not manufacturing faults. I own many hundreds of DVDs, and 54 HD-DVDs, and "narry a one" has shown any signs of "rot" ... yet. |

| | Posted: | | | | If you want to experiment with rot, it seems that all but one of the cases I've seen involved a slightly damaged disc - so drop one onto it's edge on concrete. That should do it.
Oh yeah, then wait a few months. |
