Re: DVD Rot ?
Maybe you could hit up an eBay seller and have them check their DVD to see if it still works before you buy it.

A few more:
La Femme Nikita: Season 1 - discs 1 & 3 are bad at the layer change, didn't bother checking the rest
Saturday Morning Cartoons 1960 Volume 2 - disc 1 starts glitching after the layer change
Plastic Man: The Complete Collection - all discs showing signs of rot
Does anybody have seasons 2-5 of La Femme Nikita (the original issued sets) to verify if they're bad? Mine are still unopened and I don't know if I should even bother with them.

Shit, I have to check my Saturday Morning sets now. Wanted to get Plastic Man also.
But I came here because I got a 3rd Larry King set from Amazon and as expected all 3 discs are bad, but it's ON now- they are sending me another one with the promise to return the bad one at Whole Foods. I'll just keep asking for a new set til I get one that plays or they run out.
Considering how big a backer of DVD Warner was back in the day, they sure have fucked over a lot of purchasers with that bad manufacturing plant.

Re: DVD Rot ?
I wanted to watch "Deliverance" the other night, but when I slipped it into the player I got the "the disc is dirty" message. I cleaned it well, but the message would not go away. I had to watch something else.
