My True Life Adventures DVD are rotting. (1 Viewer)

I bought them a few years ago, got the replacements for the misauthored ones, and watched them all with no problem. Yesterday I looked at the disks, and all six original disks have a darkening of the metal portion under the plastic. I checked two of the disks and the each had spots where the couldn't play anymore. Seems like maybe one if the layers is rotting. I've never had this happen to any of my disks before. I did by one cheap, and it had the same problem. I took the disks out of the original non-standard case and out them in slim cases, but the two replacement disks were fine, allng with the other DVD's and Blu-rays I store near them, also in slim cases. Has anyone else had this happen, and do you think Disney will replace the disks for me? The replacement disks being fine would seem to indicate that this is a manufacturing defect that took a long time to manifest.

Oh great. Here we go again.

Will have to check all of mine now.

I came to this series late in the game. Can someone please provide a pointer as to the authoring issues?


Thanks!

I just checked all of mine, and they show no signs of darkening, so I don't think this is endemic to the entire True Life Adventures releases.

There were two authoring issues, each on a different set. The first involved the Prowler of the Everglades features and the second involved the Secrets of Life feature. You can read about them here:

As with poder, a visual inspection of my discs reveals no signs of unusual discoloration.

Thank you very much for those links!


Now, to check all of that out on my copies...

Reminds me of laser rot on my laserdiscs....

Rob:


Thanks for the heads up; I will check my copies right away. If it becomes a widespread problem, I would hope that Disney would initiate a disc replacement program.


By any chance, did you register your discs on Disney Movie Rewards? The do have a disc replacement program (for a fee) for your registered discs.

My discs all look and play fine, but I've got the original incorrect versions of both "Prowler" and "Secrets"!
