has anybody heard of blu rot it is said 2 be happing on the departed and the prestige i just checked my discs and departed was fine but my prestige had it. what it blu rot is are these little brown cicrles on the discs i checked it going through the chapters and it played fine but really its just the point, we pay good money on these discs and we have to worry about this crap.

Laser discs were subject to "laser rot" which was caused by oxidizing of the inner layer of the disc because the disc layers did not adhere properly when manufactured, causing the disc to generate read errors and eventually become unplayable. A particular Columbia manufacturing plant had the biggest problems here - but that was years ago and I thought this type problem had been resolved and have not heard of it happening to the smaller type discs like dvd, etc.

Prestige is the only movie I have heard of this happening to so far. Apparently they had a bad pressing or something

SD DVD's can also suffer from disc rot.

i just got off the phone with buena vista they said pretty much it was the early pressings and that i could send my disc back 2 them and they would send me a new copy.
