    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    Took a chance and bought a used copy of Big Jim McClain and it totally froze on my Sony and Oppo players around the 40 minute mark. Disc is pristine physically. Bummer. $4 isn’t bad but does anyone know if the dvd on Amazon is a MOD or is it still pressed? Amazon wants $24 for it so it’s not...

    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    I hadn't watched it in years, but I played Goonies last night and sure enough it froze up around the 42 minute mark. Disc is clean and immaculate. Date is 2007. Oh well, I'd been meaning to replace with bluray or 4K.

    I was in the mood for some Gable and watched Command Decision today. Unfortunately it locked up about an hour in. Disc is in perfect shape, no scratches or smudges.

    I ended up contacting Sherri and she's sending me out a new copy, but it's MOD. I've never had an issue with any of the MOD releases so i'm not worried about it, I'm just glad to get a new copy of this fine film.

    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    Well, my previously listed okay copy of Land of the Pharaohs from the Cult Camp Classics box set froze up on me. It was about at the 57 minute mark. The volume went out and then the picture froze. I tried it in two different players. Think I could get a replacement of just that film? It's been...

    I just rebought the offending titles. They were luckily still in print or easy to obtain. So far the replacement copies are good to go.

    Yeah, I must have lucked out (at least for the time being). My copy is a single, not part of the boxed set.

    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    I have a feeling some of my discs failed due to ultra high humidity. I had placed a lot of my DVD's in a plastic crate out in my back storage building which isn't climate controlled. Only the WB discs were affected though so maybe it just accelerated the process of them not working it. I ordered...

    I had the same bad feeling when I opened up Julius Caesar. It's been some years since I viewed it and the whole reflective side of the disc had blotches all over. It worked fine and no hang ups though. Curiously, Air Force and Dark Passage look mint and froze up.

    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    I tested a few potential troubled DVD's from WB and came out with these results. I cleaned the lenses on two players just to eliminate that potential variable. Bombers B52 - frozen around chapter 8 Air Force - frozen around chapter 6 Public Enemy - works fine Julius Caesar - works fine Land of...

    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    Ouch, I posted in another thread about some of my DVDs developing a haze on the reflective side of the disc and the discs were no longer functioning (freezing at a certain point). I did some background on the ones that were freezing and they were all WB titles. So far I've had issues with Air...
