Well.....who ever thought that DVD discs could "rot"?

I\'ve heard of lamanates peeling off....but come on....DVDs rotting?

I need to check my old collection of DVDs.

DVDs are still safer than VHS-tapes though.

A DVD is guaranted for 100 years, time enough to use it several times :D

Who keeps their receipt for more than one year for a DVD?

*yawn*
DVD and LaserDisc\'s both can suffer from "rot". Dvd\'s are just less likely. Nothing special. Nothing new.

Heard of it.

Doubt its really going to affect business or anything, I still buy/rent VHS\'s when I dont have the money for DVD, or am to lazy to use the dvd player.

We might as well throw our DVDs away now.

Actually by the time they do show signs of rot we\'ll be on the format after HD-DVD.  Porbably even further down.

Yeah.... And eventually, you can just reburn them once technology like that becomes more affordable. :D
