I think the real issue or problem is the fact that most discs now, since its at least been about 10 years since the original owners of these LDs have gotten rid of their collections are the warp factors.
I can't remember now but at least 1 LD that I've received in the past 6 months was warped, it may have been 2 but again I'm not buying a lot, may have only bought 5 discs in the last 6 or so months.
Also these discs had from what I remember a 5 year warranty on them from places like 3M, I do not have any discs in my collection that played fine and now are rotted. The only one I had that I can remember was Heavy Metal and an MGM of 2001, bought new and were perfect but after a few months to years they had rot. Nothing else in my collection has ever developed rot of any kind other than discs I picked up that had issues before hand, no new rot.
Main 2 factors to look into are warp and players, if you have a player that has been playing fine and you get that one stinky disc then just chalk it up as a bad disc. If you are getting a run on discs then it may be bad discs or the player. BUT I would ALWAYS think disc first if you have had the player for some time.
ALWAYS check for warp rather than tinker with players, and always check with a straight edge, you may have a warped disc that nobody even the seller didn't know about.
