Hi people’s. This is more in the nature of a poll. Had a ‘Black Hawk Down’ DVD played prob. 3 times on our old DVD/TV setup. Put this disc into the new Prog. DVD player last night (which I think is going back but that's another story) and got “Disc will not play” message. At first I thought there was some issue new to me with the prog. player somehow being incompatible with this disc. So I switched the old DVD player back on line, same message. Then dusted the disc and reinserted into the Prog. Player got a different message “Disc Dirty”.

In approx. 3 years of heavy DVD use, I have never had a disc ‘go bad’, and this includes heavy ‘operator abuse’ perpetrated on the discs by the kids around here.

This particular DVD looks perfect to the eye. I’m curious what percent of disc loss any of you have experienced in your past?
