Sticking DVDs

(1/4) > >>

Clive:
I have a couple of DVD's that freeze during playback.  I've carefully cleaned them with a lens cloth and that has improved the situation enormously.  However, they                    still need more cleaning.  What would you recommend I use?

Baz:
do you mean they freeze for ages and stop playing or just for a few seconds then play again Clive.

If its just for a few seconds thats normal with some DVDs. its something to do with the dual layer.

Simon:
Are these DVDRs, Clive?  Unfortunately, I have found the lifespan of some brands to be little more than a few plays before they start to deteriorate.  :(

Clive:
Yes, they are DVDRs and are not dual layer.  I can see marks on them which will almost certainly wipe off with a damp cloth or a spray.  The lens cloth removed most of the marks allowing the DVDs to play to around 75% before starting to play up. 

Simon:
I would guess it's the marks that are causing the freezing, Clive.
