OK I've tried to boil the disc with guidance from several sources. My Mask of Zorro R3 disc now can play normally on the scenes which were previously skipping... but not all of them. Some chapters still skip although I've boil dthe disc twice. Should I keep boiling the disc until everything's clear or is there any limit in boiling discs? I dip the disc for about 40 secs.

My Bridge at Remagen disc problem can't be solved with this method. Maybe I'll have to buy replacement

All discs I've purchased out of the 309 in my collection that played fine the first time still play fine so far. Only bought two defective discs out of the bunch, and both had "freeze-up" problems, in both my Sony and Philips players. They were "Gilligan's Island: The Complete Third Season" (froze several times on the episode "The Second Ginger Grant") and "Curse of the Pink Panther" (started freezing on the scene where the computer is about to give Dreyfus's background history).

Returned both for exchange, and the new copies played just fine.

Calamari, I had the exact same problem with my Oldboy DVD. I got it on line in early December so I couldn't really return it to DeepDiscount DVD. Instead, I contacted Tartan video in California, I sent them a letter explaining the problem with a copy of my on-line receipt and within a few days they mailed me a brand new copy.

well ya this happened with the spy game DVD. it ran quite good at first but later on the sound of bullets was more like falling of iron rods and it all got messed up

I've had a few run-ins, but with the amount of DVDs I own it's thankfully been a tiny percentage. A few used discs were in bad shape and easy enough to trade in, with new ones it's been rare but there occasionally was the 'fogging' up on the disc and some pixelation. If wiping it gently with a cotton cloth or using one of those kits they sell in most places that sell DVDs doesn't help, I just exchange it.

What I do and highly recommend everyone to do is keep the receipt in the DVD (I tuck it in where the insert is), that way you can easily take it back and always know where it is.

I've had a couple of mishaps with defective dvds, but the best one was probably the 3 copies of The hulk I went through at Wal-mart when it came out. I bought the widescreen version but it was a fullscreen in the case. I took it back, opened the other one in the parking lot and it was also fullscreen. They opened another one in the store for me and it too was fullscreen. The ended up just giving me a refund and i went and bought it from future shop.

Anyone had problems with the SE of Communion?

Last night I went to watch it and the entire layer seperated. The plastic see through peeled right off the actual disc. Never had this happen...ever.
