1. Between the chapters the DVD's stops/freezers or goes back to either the start or pixelates?
This has become a common problem, this is because the new disc that are now coming out hold a different part of the movie in each layer as the older disc held most the information on the one side, Some of the older or cheaper machines have problems with the changing layers of the movie. There is no real fix to this problem but you can quickly fast forward at the time that it skips at hope the machine can change to the new layer in time.
2. 5mm from the outside edge of PS game or DVD is there a scratch?
With the play station 2 this is common because when the disc is placed in the console standing up the speed causes the disc to wobble therefor it scraps the inside of the machine. Over a period of time this will damage the game and it will no longer play. This problem can be fixed by using round labels rather then the square ones and by using MACH 1 machine from the disc doctor.
3. Why do some DVDs play in some players but not others?
Finger marks can affect a brand new DVD if the mark is in the right place, there is a easy solution to this problem simply wipe the disc with a lint free cloth to all marks have been removed. Regular maintenance is recommended to keep your DVD?s in good condition. Cloth and cleaning solutions can be purchased from our page.
4. Why do some DVD?s play in some players but not others?
There are a few reasons as to why some DVD?s will work in some players and not others, one of the factors is the age of the player and the DVD, newer disc carry more information and some older player have problems reading that information. Then there is the laser, the stronger the laser the more likely it is to get through any scratches or fingerprints on the disc that can cause deflection. Cheaper machine have cheaper lasers so we recommend that you stick to the better-known brands and keep disc clean and protected.
5. Scuff marks and scratches, what is the difference between these?
There is a simple test to see if you have a scratch or simple a scuff mark on your disk. Scratches can be felt with your finger or nail, these will need to be taken out with a special machine. Scuff marks on the other hand can be removed by using a polishing spray (disc wipes). This is available from www.discrepair.biz
6. What if there is a crack in the centre hole of my DVD or game?
This can be bad and quite fatal; the old push button covers cause it. Disk protectors are available and they go over the graphics side of the disk, care instructions come on them and are easily wiped off.
7. Why do some of my new DVD?s have visible shadows or dark marks? (Very important)
Laser rot, is what this problem is known as. A major industry problem, this is caused in the production stage, it is caused by air becoming trapped between the layers, over time which can vary from a week to one year the air can expand and the disc will become un playable. The only think you can do is take it back and ask for it to back to the manufacturer and ask for it to be replaced.
