Blu-ray rot, will it happen???
« on: Aug 16, 2011 at 06:15 AM »
Blu-ray rot, will it happen??? I am not sure if there is an existing thread but if there is, please merge it. TIA

I was wondering if this will happen to them as well, unfortunately I have DVDs that just suddenly did not work, even if i checked the DVD for any scratches, none for my Finding Nemo R1 and Con Air R3 DVDs. Hope this does not happen to my staring collection of Blu-ray.

I wonder what may have caused this rot?

Good question. I've experienced HD DVD rot but not Bluray rot. Haven't heard of anyone yet that has experienced bluray rot.
No room acoustic treatment is like running a Ferrari on ice.

Blu-ray rot, will it happen???

It already has: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=857067
 

If you happen to be in V-Mall Greenhills, go to Cardinal Audio.  They have some second-hand BDs for sale.  Look at their second-hand copy of The Prestige BD.  It has BD rot.

But don't worry too much.  Blu-ray rot is very unusual, and Blu-ray is the most rot-resistant optical format so far.


I wonder what may have caused this rot?

Physical and/or chemical deterioration.  

All physical video media deteriorate.

I hope na nde sya lalaganap masyado compared sa ibang format... that is a sad reality though. pag amag ng cassette tapes at vinyl at dvd rot...

hoping having a better cabinet in storing those blu rays will help, maybe even watching those collections at least after 4 or 5 months may prevent this as well..

Tama yan.

That's why my collection has always been very small. 

If you buy only the titles you really love, I'm sure konti lang ang magiging titles ng collection mo.

the thing here if this would happen, u should back up all your bluray files in a hard drive or something, rip would do the job though

I don't know if the culprit is BD rot, but I already have three blu ray titles no longer playable in the three different players that I own:

 Quantum of Solace (from an eBay US seller) - the disc has 2 pinholes visible when held up against a light source
  Ip Man (from dddhouse.com)- no visible marks/damage on the disc
  Real Steel (bought here in pdvd)-  same with Ip Man, no visible sign of damage. The disc freezes once it reaches the menu part

All of these BDs played flawlessly before they became unreadable. I have long since repurchased the titles and so far, I didn't encounter any problems with the replacements.
