Considering most of the people who post and read on these boards probably own giant adult DVD collections, I thought this would be the perfect place to post something I just discovered with one of my DVDs.

My "Where The Boys Aren't 14" DVD from Vivid (purchased 2002) strangely could not be read by any of my DVD players last night. I was surprised at this and examined the DVD surface under bright light, but found NO scratches as expected since I keep all my DVDs in pristine condition. Upon further examination, I took a flash light and shone the light on the DVD surface at an angle and found what I consider to be the cause of this DVD to be unreadable. I discovered spots and blotches underneath the first plastic (?) layer of the disc.

Has anyone else experienced this or know what's going on here? I've read that layers can become unglued and this might be the case, but I'm not sure. Am I entitled to a replacement DVD because of this defect? Thanks in advance for any advice.

You might want to read some of the other threads in this forum, from the past month or so. Particularly concerning Evil Angel, Anabolic and Diabolic studio discs. There are reports of problems with the long term condition of some discs. It seems there may have been some manufacturing faults in discs produced 2 or 3 years ago that are only now coming to light.

Personally, I think we're going to be seeing more of these messages over the coming months. Quite how the studios are going to handle this I'm not sure. So far, it seems that EA are offering replacements for known-bad discs - excellent customer service indeed. Whether other studios will too is another matter.

Thanks. I got in touch with the retailer I ordered this disc from a couple years ago and they said they would honor a return because of their relationship with Vivid. I was glad to hear that. Hopefully, this will go through without any problems.

I guess with the ever increasing mass production of blanks, quality control will have problems keeping up.
