CD Frosting on "LOVE" DVD

[skynet]

i am in the process of testing all the components in my HT system due to my main receiver device upgrade (The new MHT300), while testing the "Love" DVD on the DVD player, it is simply unplayable (player does not even recognize the DVD), upon review i noticed a grey stain over the outer border of the DVD, "CD Frosting" i guess, i cleaned it up but still the same result, then i tried it over the BD player, and it plays just normal, which is weird

I wonder if someone else has seen this issue with these "Love" DVDs even in a controlled environment? i was not expecting this to happen but seems that is just poor material quality on the DVD

Anyway, have a look at your "Love" DVDs

I just looked at mine and it looks fine (it's a U.S. issue).

Good point Doug, mine says is "Manufactured in Mexico"... so much for Quality control over MX factory i guess



Anyway, i will get a new copy :/

I had frosting issue on 1988 white album. Steve Hoffman forum gave me silution that time.

If DVD and CD are of same material, that solution may help you.

Many dvds and cds in the noughties were craply made and now have frosting or just won't play. I have loads of them.

I've always thought that optical media is the least reliable and durable of all archiving formats. Use it at your peril!

My "Love" DVD suffered from the same issue... .
It makes me really mad and willing to get pirate copies to spend so much on legit media and still get problems like this more often than it would take to be considered rare...

I have 4 copies of the genuine pressed Beatles - Live At The BBC Vol 1 Silver Promo CD with the press pack etc & they all have that crystalling problem!
So do some of the Bootleg series 'His Masters Choice' & 'Copy Cat Chronicle' CD Silvers but the DVD's are fine.

I checked my copy...
clean, but then, I've never played it.
I often think that the damage is caused by laser light.
How odd! Like my fingerprints on a cheerleader!(ahem)
The CD of the set has been played numerous times...and is crystal/rot/stain free!
The weather?
Thanks,
