Rot status was also updated.

Previously it was a very naive (I hear "stupid"?) metrics that only considered:

  • 0 report - OK
  • 1-5 reports - Low probability
  • 6-10 reports - Possible candidate
  • 11-20 reports - High probability
  • > 20 - Avoid this release

This was the default code before I added "rot level".

Now the test is as follows (knowing that min & max level of rot levels are 1 & 5):

  • 0 report = OK
  • Average of rot levels reported <= 2 - Low probability
  • Average of rot levels reported <= 3 - Possible candidate
  • Average of rot levels reported <= 4 - High probability
  • Average of rot levels reported > 4 - Avoid this release

Suddenly a LOT of HDDVDs are in the "Avoid" category.

And just for fun (and before trashing it all), I made scans of the inserts found in my HDDVDs.

Now, call it karma or premonition, but one of my Warner HDDVDs had an insert ... for Blu-Ray releases.

Warner must have known something before we did!

There were a few WB HD-DVD's released after HD-DVD was killed, and that flyer has (C) 2008...

According to a user in an HD DVD group that I am in, both DVD's and Blu-rays by Cinram during that time frame have similar quality issues. So maybe time to check other old discs?

Wild guess; DVDs are multiple layers despite being same thickness as a CD, which means those layers are much thinner than on a CD, thus more easily broken.
