Laserdisc Rot?

The bad thing is LD rot generally gets worse with time. It can also happen anywhere on a disc and can occur only on one side. Did this disc repeat the program on both sides? If so, did you check the other side?

I flipped it over and it is messed up as well. Was hoping it was rot and not an issue. I suspected rot but just wanted to verify. I just need to locate a rot free disc.
 
Good luck with that, Ive had a couple of these disc's and they had rot. It usually has to do with the manufacturer and the way they were pressed..so say the movie Eraser has bad rot most other copies of Eraser will also have rot or be prone to it. You could end up with multiple copies and be happiest with the one that has the least rot.
 
Remember when laser disks and CDs were new and they said that they would last forever and always look great.

Yeah, right.......

I remember being shocked when listening to the radio back in the day and a cd started skipping. They hyped the long life so much that it was a big deal to actually hear the first messed up disc. Soon after that people realized that these things weren't indestructible. Now I just hope to find one good disc. ;)

in all fairness, it said that WITH proper storage and handling of the discs. ;)

earlier cds were total dogs. had several of my dad's old Black Sabbath cds where the top wore away, obviously making them unplayable.
