    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    You've probably checked this, but just in case, make sure you don't have any fingerprints on your 4K disc. I've been bingeing on the latest Hitchock 4K collection, which are kind of hard to get out of the case without touching the bottom side of the disc. In my player, at least, if there's...

    Magical thinking. But it can't hurt. If you watch them often enough, you'll know the exact time they went bad. :)

    Or make a copy of it for backup purposes as soon as you get it.

    I got a big box of replacement disks from Sherri yesterday. All of the bad discs that were still in print, though most now only from the Archive. Even a Blu-ray version of The Pirate to replace my DVD version. Though I hate that the discs went bad (I even feel a little violated), I'm so...

    The dvd version I have is in a black cardboard slipcase (embossed) with an inner unfolding, cardboard-backed, four-disc case. No trinkets, no toys. Package design & supplementary material compilation, copyright 2007. I started checking my discs on my 4K player, but on advice from this forum...

    Well, I went through most of the WB discs that I own that were manufactured during the 2006-2008 time frame, and unfortunately I have a lot of problem discs. I'll list them here for anyone who hasn't yet checked their own sets. I also sent off a note to Sherri at WB, and I've got my fingers...

    Thanks for the tip about VSO inspector. I tested that program on a couple of disks that I had already had problems with, and it did identify bad sectors and files. However, at least on my relatively old PC, it takes a lot longer to run that program than it does to just fast-forward through it...

    Thanks. So far all the errors I've seen have been later in the disks, at least an hour or so into the movies. So that seems to match the second-layer theory. I haven't seen any physical distortions (colors or dots) on the data sides of the disks, but perhaps that's because I just don't...

    This may have been posted before, so I apologize if this question has been answered before, but there are 34 pages to go through. Anyhow, I'm just starting to pull my head out of the sand and start looking for problem DVDs that I own. Thanks for the lists of problematic DVDs and DVD sets. I...

    After hiding my head in the sand for the last couple of years and not looking at this thread, I've finally been bit by the problem too. My wife has been going through the seven seasons of West Wing on DVD and has had problems with several of the discs on various seasons. The biggest problem...
