Discussion Forums - DVD Bazaar

Although this does not pertain to trading DVDs, I felt it should be posted in this forum because it is the most active.

From this article: It turns out that hundreds of DVD titles manufactured by the entertainment giant between 2006 and 2008 have succumbed to a long-known phenomenon called “disc rot,” a deterioration in a DVD’s condition that results in freezing, glitches, or complete failure during playback. The good news is that the company has acknowledged the problem and is offering replacements — though not refunds — for affected discs. But only if the movie is still in print, and so long as Warner Bros. still has the rights to the title. The issue appears to affect a wide range of titles, including classic Hollywood movies such as Stanley Kubrick: Director’s Series edition of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Superman movies up to Superman Returns, and popular TV series like Looney Tunes Collections and Batman: The Animated Series. Here is a list of known affected movies.

One of the articles included this statement: "Consumers with affected product can contact the customer support team at whv@wbd.com."

I sent a list of the WB movies I have to the e-mail address shown 3/14, but as of noon 3/18 have not received a response. I will keep this thread updated.
