Thousands of DVDs are only suitable for garbage. They retired faster than anyone could expect and production was at fault.
To this day, many lovers of pop culture gather hundreds of albums, hoping that they will serve them for years. Thanks to this, they want to become independent of the grace of streaming services, because thanks to this they actually have a physical product. Problems, however, begin when it turns out that the discs are not as durable as many would expect.
It is widely known that physical carriers have their “expiration date”. Many expect that the cartridges or CDs/DVD/BD will stop working one day. As for digital media, the so -called DISC ROT It is a real threat and their everyday life. As we read on Wikipedia:
DISC ROT is a trend of CDs, DVDs or other optical disks to become illegible due to chemical destruction. The causes include oxidation of the reflective layer, reactions with impurities, damage caused by ultraviolet radiation and the desecration of the adhesive used to stick the disk layers.
Now the owners of film albums are convinced in a painful way. Over 300 DVD titles published in 2006-2008 by Warner Bros. From day to day … it just stopped working. The reason is the “rotting” mentioned above. Thus, even if their owners stored disks according to art, it did nothing. Millions of films with films have been degraded due to errors in the production process, which meant that they could not be reproduced at present.
Thousands of boards with bin movies. This time the producer was at fault
As reported by Joblo.com, the production was at fault. The technical error in the production of media meant that they were prematurely degraded. Collectors who like older media probably remember that this problem regularly affected laserders produced in the 1980s and 1990s. However, with the development of technology, it was minimized, and in the case of DVD it was really rare. But as you can see: they happen and if you have in your collection movies and series on DVD from Warner Bros. This defective party can be relatively easily recognized by the IFPI 2U code, which appears on the disk. Another option is simply an attempt to recreate the disc.
Thousands of garbage plates. But how many such plates should they work at all?
It is assumed that the media stored in ideal conditions can operate up to 100 years. It is important to protect them from heat, moisture and sunlight. When they lie at a moderate temperature, they should be used for many years. Unfortunately, nothing can be done with CDs from WB, but the publisher found a way to soothe the nerves of enraged customers and will offer a replacement of defective discs with new ones. However, there is a hook, because if a given title is no longer available or the rights of WB have expired to it, you can count on a new album of similar value.
