Sticking DVDs
Clive:
So what should I clean them off with? :D
Simon:
I usually just breathe on them and rub them on my jumper! Failing that, a fine spray of water and a micro-fibre cloth might help. :) If you can get them to play, I would consider backing them up with new copies, in case it is the disc degrading.
Clive:
I'm surprised I haven't been able to find a proprietary cleaner on the market. I think I'll try your water spray method on one of those free DVD's you get with newspapers before using it on the disc I want to preserve. The problem with taking a backup at this stage is that it freezes at exactly the same points. But if I can get it clean then I will take another backup.
Simon:
Does it stick when you play it on the PC, Clive? Some DVD players are more sensitive than others, and if you find it plays on the PC, you should then be able to make backups on a good quality DVDR.
Clive:
Unfortunately yes. I tried using Nero's repair tool but that failed. It's definitely the marks causing the problem and I think I'll try a damp cloth.
