HI GUYS/GALS

once again I question the longevity of dvd as a storage medium for our much treasured porn collections.
I had a dvd which although protected in clingfilm which erodvd always do, had a long scratch and dents on the playing surface, needless to say when played, it froze and
would not continue.

on inspection this was not a deep scratch in fact I have cd's worse than this which play fine.

why can't companies burn the information deeper inside the disc or make much tougher discs, I still believe that whilst dvd is far superior to vhs it isn't anywhere near as tough. of course it never degrades in quality but can we say with any real confidence that we can handle our dvd's with kid gloves everytime, after all we are all only human and accidents do happen, not to mention normal day to day
usage.

another point marc dorsel/wicked pictures are "macrovision protecting" their dvd's against copying, on a porn dvd!!!
whatever next.

I usually copy the original dvd onto a vidtape for storage purposes in case the dvd gets damaged, as far as I know
iam not infringing any copyright.


CHEERS WHITESTAR.

If you transfer a copyrighted material from from medium to another then you are breaking copyright law. However as long as you don`t sell/loan or borrow it to someone else you won`t have the Sweeney breaking down your doors.

Most dvd porn movies DO NOT have a copyright protect mechanism on them (macrovision) so making VHS copies is easy. That said, as long as you do not sell these copies, you should be okay.

Sorry, but in the United States this is utterly false. The United States adheres to a policy of "Fair Use" which means that copies for backup purposes are completely legitimate. You are correct though, that if someone were to back up a movie you do not own, or back up a movie and give them to someone else (or sell it which is even worse) then, yes they would be breaking the law. If you spend a lot on DVDs and are worried about them breaking you could buy a DVD-R, they're coming down in price dramatically.

DVDs have data on multiple layers -- cds have data on one layer. Data on dvds is stored much more densely than on cds, so the same scratch on a dvd will affect much more data than on a cd.
