How to un-bend a DVD?
So one of my Total Movie DVDs was trapped at an angle under a huge stack of Atari 2600 games for about 6 months. It's not cracked or broken, but has a very visible warp to it.
Any suggestions on how to return it to it's un-warped condition?

I've never had to do it, but I would probably try sandwiching it in between some flat and heavy books in a warm room for a few months.

(Of course the problem with putting it between a couple of books is that I know I'll forget about it. Come sometime 2006 when I have to move, I'll go "Oh - THAT'S where that got too. . . .)

Put it between 2-5lb books, and let it set for 48hrs.

Just throw it in your DVD player. I'm sure it will play just fine. Ignore any rattling or grinding noises, thats normal. The only thing you have to worry about is the laser reflecting off the warped disc at a wrong angle and burning a hole through the front of the player, possibly blinding or killing you or the family cat.
