DVD help

thundermaster612 · 04-12-2016, 01:21 PM

So I opened up my TMNT Movie pack today and I found that all the discs (except for tmnt 3) had black dots and thick white dots that look like they can be scratched off but I don't want to damage the disc, the black dots could be from the title printing but I don't know, there are also some scratches on the center of the tmnt 2 disc. Could this have happened because the discs are stacked on top of each other? Also TMNT 3 and the CGI TMNT '4' have the least amount of damage maybe cause their on the bottom? I have all the discs stacked in the case in order. Anyways if anyone has any idea on how to remove this damage then please help say it below cause I want to keep these in the best condition I can. Also I haven't touched the discs in a while so maybe that has a factor? I checked some videos on YouTube but their not very good so help a turtle out

If you try to scratch it off do not use your bare finger. You could cover your finger with a cotton t-shirt and see if it can be gently taken off. Make sure it is lint free if possible to avoid scratches. Most DVD and bluray players can still read mild surface scratches but best not to risk it.

Dampen a microfiber cloth with a mixture of distilled water and rubbing alcohol. Gently wipe the discs from the center to the outer rim. Let dry for a half hour or so.

Works for me!

What you've described sounds like mold, which is no bueno... though it would be easy to clean, at least. How/where have they been stored?

No, definitely not mold. I've seen that before, they've been stored in their case on my display for a little while, probably 2 months..
