These are all from the same spindle, the left one was on top, the one next to it underneath, then underneath again and the middle of the spindle. Great tanning! #cdr #philips #discrot #cdrw #tanning #technology #90s #2000s #cdburner #blankcdr
New YT upload! This ain't meant to fearmonger that Disc Rot is common, I only have two CDs affected with it, which this one comes at a shock as it's only a little over 10 years old.

I'm still all-in on buying physical media for its special features for research. The topic of disc rot #discrot is rearing its ugly head more often these days. Libraries will have to root out defective DVDs. We don't yet fully know the extent of the problem. www.theverge.com/news/626482/...

I’m a little taken away by this…
But I guess nothing last forever… it’s the “early degradation” term that bothers me… meaning eventually all discs will have a problem…

I may have posted about this issue I had before but I dont recall. So I had wanted to watch #TheFountain and when I put the disc in it wouldnt play. Turned it over and it looked like this...
Tons of tiny pin tip sized pits in the surface of the disc. Extreme example of #DiscRot

I just found out about #discrot! Not the hard way. No, I found out on YouTube. It makes sense. Plastic will deteriorate unless it's a soda bottle tossed into the ocean. Anyway, I better remove my CD's from my car - they're all classics!

Damn, another one bites the dust: my UK Blu-ray edition of "The Ruins" (2008) by Carter Smith has become unreadable.
Not a single scratch on the disc but it's not detected anymore by all the players I tested it with. 😭😡
