DVD Rot:
Thought you’d buy/put it on DVD and would have it forever, or at least until the next ‘big’ thing comes around? Think again. This article in the Sydney Morning Herald suggests that up to 10% of DVDs may already be corrupt due to corrosion, and delamination. This is where making backup copies comes into play, but wait… Hollywood doesn’t want you to do that. Hmm… I think I smell a conspiracy theory brewing.
