Thank you for that link, Julien. One day, I need to check -all- of my HD DVDs, I suppose, and decide how many of them I want to replace with Blu-ray versions (if I have not done so already). Half of them probably are still never opened, including Phantom Of The Opera, that I bought on April 18, 2006. That was the first day of release for discs on the format, though I know some people got one or more of the first three discs before that. I got my first player on April 15, I do still have it.

Well this is a funny one, I was trying to keep this as a DVD topic but now it changed into an HD-DVD.
I was posting about OG DVDs. not HDdvds.

Same factory... same time-frame... same root cause!

Julien

Different format.

I think we all know HD-DVD is a s**t format and rot rate is very high.
Spoke with grasshopper and he couldn't believe that regular DVDs have issues now.

Same factory, same timeframe but new format to add to the rot s**t list.

The list I provided in the link of the quoted forum post was for rotten DVDs.

Slow down and read please. These are discs stamped exactly the same way in the same factory on the same day all rotting for the same reason, sometimes even in the same package. The topic has not strayed off course.

Ah thx, I see the other post above on page 1 that had HD-DVD and wanted to keep the topic focused to DVDs.
So many of these topics get strayed in the past couple years, and there are so many how to fix players, and the forum has gone astray from topics.
