Disc rot?

[Archy]

Yeah, tell me about it! Disks are easily scratched, etc. As for the one disk I had problems with, I played it twice around when I got it, then didn't play it until a year later. That's when it didn't work. And, it doesn't work on any other players either. Or my computer. Always the same problem. Maybe it's damaged? I have looked at it thoroughly and there doesn't seem to be damage, but hey, maybe it's microscopic! Either way, disks are definitely fickle.

I personally recommend Toshiba DVD players. I have one that's lasted 5 years without issue. Most of my friends use Toshiba as well and have had no issues either.
