April 19, 2025: Panic At The Disc-os?

If you are a DVD fan and still have a library of discs that fill two whole walls of your house including floor-to-ceiling shelves like – um – a guy I heard about, you might want to be aware that many Warner Bros. Home Entertainment DVDs made between 2006 and 2008 seem to be deteriorating and unable to play due to a flaw in the manufacturing process. The company is aware of the issue and is apparently replacing them with the same discs when those rights permit them to do so. More information can be found in this Ars Technica article, including a link to a list of affected discs.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to help this guy I know mop tears from his eyes as he sorts through his media library.
