In Reply to: RE: R.E.M. (Or maybe other WMG?) DVD-As: Layer separation / degradation problem posted by cfraser on June 12, 2011 at 09:59:42
Oy. That's not good; I have a lot of HD-DVD too. :(
I've been checking these discs on every player I have - fails on every single one.
It's clearly a case of either a progressive rot, or something bad from the get-go.
Not good news, but not sure if there's much that can be done about it? WMG just gives an address to mail discs to, and says basically you'll get a replacement in 6-8 weeks, no other information.
Follow Ups:
The rot problem for DVD-As is more affecting because replacements aren't usually easily available. I have very recently played all my favorite DVD-As with no probs, and all my faves (and most expensive to replace) just happen to be WB. Yikes...
As for HD-DVDs, at least if you're in the U.S., Warner will exchange the HD-DVDs for BDs where titles available.
Thanks for the word. I'll try out my WB DVD-As, esp the REMs, later. Seriously doubt the place you got it from has anything to do with it - they were probably all manufactured at the same factory, possibly in the same run(s). It's not like they were moving Gaga numbers on 'em.
I wouldn't hold my breath on returning it to the manufacturer. Don't think they have any replaccements sitting in a warehouse.
WMG Jackson Browne "Running on Empty" DVD-A in cd/dvd digipak - won't play past the layer break.
Same packaging and pressing indications as my REM discs which, are still playing, but I'm guessing will not forever.
It would be great if WMG would address this but I'm sure they won't; they consider the format dead and probably figure you got your money's worth out of it, in their opinion.
It's a shame that some of these discs are getting hard to find and even buying new likely will just result in the same trouble. No place else to get these recordings in 5.1 or hi-rez, either.
Original Doors "Perception" CD+DVDA box set, all but "LA Woman" are unreadable near the layer break.
No luck whatsoever getting a response from Rhino/Warner so far.
Wrote to WMG and Rhino (3 addresses total) last week via email about this.. Not a single reply, not even a form letter.
