Warner Brothers' Poor Blu-Ray Quality

"The video itself is a wonderful transfer, but Warner Brothers' continuing problems with Blu-Ray disks that go flaky with little if any warning makes buying this a questionable proposition. I've had a number of Warner Brothers Blu-Rays just stop working without a scratch, smudge or dimple. I've tried contacting WB about this, but they don't respond. The regular DVDs seem to work well, but the Blu-Rays seem to have some production problems. (And just try to get one replaced after several months, which is how long it takes for these disks to fail.)
If anyone knows if WB is ever going to address these problems (Wiz. of Oz, Willie Wonka and others), I'd like to know. I've tried these disks on multiple devices and they've failed to play -- and this after playing flawlessly six or seven times. It's as if suddenly, boom -- they stop being recognized.
I've had no problems with the DVDs, though.

"I just love the way this picture looks for a 70 year old picture, time and care were taken in restore this classic film. What a wonderful transfer of this film you can see things that you could'nt with the other releases of this film. and the extras are just wonderful , with one exception, the tv special of the Dreamer Of Oz was'nt transfer very good so it's slightly blurry,too bad because it's a great special on the life Mr. Baum told through the eyes of his wife. i mean you can still watch it and enjoy, i just wish they would've transferred it better, another than that. the Set fine. and yes it in it original Fullscreen format, since it never was widescreen film in the first place. Buy without a care, The Wizard Of Oz Was Meant for Blu Ray. relive the adventure with Dorothy and Toto , Scarecrow, Tin Man and The Lion , plus The Witch.
Highly Recommended.
