I did make a list after conducting my own research on the issue of bad WB DVDs back on October 4, 2020. It is post #668. It is in the "34" group of posts (just click on 34 -- of the 48 total). Hope this helps.

Spencer: Thanks for this. It brings added attention to all the various posts over many months (including mine -- particularly #668 from Oct 4, 2020 and #672 from Oct 6, 2020). Your list would benefit if you would list release dates for the bad discs and/or box sets (since re-releases -- for...

For those new to this thread, you may want to look back at my entries from 6 months ago (#668 on Oct 4, 2020 and #672 on Oct 5, 2020). I posted the results of my extensive examination of defective WB DVDs (focusing on classic films). It is rather disturbing that there were at minimum 200...

Arthur, I did not list the "Classic Comedy Teams Collection". Can't have everything, you know! Yes, there are certain titles that are (near) impossible to obtain. I still can't get a good copy of "Best Foot Forward" (1943), or "The Divorcée" (1930) / "A Free Soul" (1931), The slim case...

I have seen various posts (on Nitrateville and Home Theater Forum) about a “high failure rate” of Warner Home Video (WHV) DVDs, including many classic films. People describe DVDs that freeze, or don’t load properly -- listing a few random titles that have shown problems. So far, I have not seen...
