I'm in DVD manufacture, and I can confirm that DVD's are not designed to wear out. Thats not to say that if they get excessively scratched, or the reflective layer oxidizes or deterioates that they won't stop playing, but the technology is very simular to that of CD, although the construction of the disc is a little different.In fact we have press lines that can do both!

They aren't old enough to oxidize. And, since they play continuously, they hardly see the drawers to scratch the surface, nor see any finger prints which were confirmed visually.What's going on to all the DVDs in the various store players?

My post was re the original question, which was I here that DVD's are deliberatly designed to wear out! The answer I gave was accurate and that is NO. Thats not to say that problems can occur with the things I mentioned and of course the flexing that someone else mentioned.Roland
That can still play new DVDs flawlessly ... well as good as all those different model generic DVD players can. They are all different midfi units.

Of course not. I just find it hard to believe but you never know. Given the binary nature of digital technology I'd expect it to either play or not play, unless the loss of certain bits in the stream somehow causes bad quality.
