never had any before but i just picked up 2 and wanted to hear others stories.
1 seems to have flattened out in my shelf and plays fine so far, going to give it some more time. other gives issues at the end of the disc, last 5-10 minutes of each side. From our own publius: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.vid ... WqGnO_YSQJTLK

I have a remastered LD of Papillon Dolby Digital which became slighlty warped, then placed this in the middle of the rest of a large amount of Laserdisc's for a while and played it again around 2 to 3 months later..........All good. I havn't had any other warped disc's. As long as they are away from direct light and stored upright correctly then they will stay in shape. Regards to all

Couldn't find the right spot so will post this here. I was searching for along time for the Science Fantasy Marine Flowers LD. After seeing one and bought, it arrived today. Quite interesting, the music too, and comes with a booklet (in Japanese ) 2 sides in CAV. On side one about half way on the last chapter (chapter 4) it gets laser lock. I can jump it ahead bits but still locks. Scanning it ahead goes as far as it can and then gets the white/ black picture. Which does that on all 3 of my players. Side 2 the last chapter right near the end has similar issues. My one player will get through side 2 end with a just a few jitters, the other 2 players lock though. Never had any problems with laser lock other then my Discovision, and my other discs play fine. Picture quality pretty good, with just the odd white usual flecks, so I don't think it's rot. The disc doesn't look like it's warped and no scratches. I tried cleaning it, but didn't help, so maybe a pressing defect. Here is a picture of the cover. Does anyone else have this one? and does yours have any defect? Marine Flower (1986) [SS098-6014]

I've some discs with this issue, f.e. Subsitute, TheSoldierBatman ReturnsYou do not see that the LD's are warped, but towards the end of side one, picture problems will appear. Some horizontal lines going slowly up as the disc plays on, sometimes red, like what we could often see on an old vhs tape that had too many playbacks... Between 40:00 and 59:59 min depending on the LD. I've tried to flatten them, used 2 flat surfaces and a huge weight. After a few days, I don't see any improvement. After how long could we expect something ? I've read a few months...

I had a warped disc of The Manitou, the stereo release version, and I was never able to dewarp it enough to get an acceptable audio extraction to sync with the video from the DVD (which is mono). Now, when I check eBay, I can never find another Nelson copy of The Manitou, even though when it didn't matter, I saw them all the time.
If anyone has a good copy they'd be willing to lend me so I could get a good audio copy, I'd be greatful.

I didn't think of that possibility - usually that shows up as digital audio problems, problems playing CAV, etc... So a bad laser didn't occur to me.

You're right ! I was testing some newly aquired LD's on my old CLD-2950 unit who doesn't work perfectly. I've just played the same disc on my X9, no problem at all... Didn't know such problem could be player related. LDDB support worked
