I guess Blu-ray disc does not equal quality.
Movie: "No Country for Old Men"
Appears to be the coating on the disc. That section I circled feels like it is bubbling. What a joke. I have never had a DVD or HD-DVD look like this before. I tried it for the hell of it on my PS3 and just get the following error:
"This video cannot be played.
(80029940)"
R.I.P. HD-DVD.

Mar 11th, 2008 10:31 PM #3You've never heard of a manufacturing defects? I've had to return many cd/dvds because of defects, the most recent (~ 1 month ago) where there was simply no disc (more a packaging defect).

Heck my Blue Dragon Disc2 had this weird discolouring on it. I was happy to be able to return it for an unblemished one at Zellers.
But it's true though that none of my HD-DVD discs have had manufacturing defects (yet)._______________

Mar 12th, 2008 12:08 AM #5Even if the hd dvd has no defects, any scratch can render the disc not playable. ONe of my bourne ultimatum disc looks perfect, but keeps skipping and freezing on my A30 player. Originally Posted by sfu_lifer

I was wondering about that special BR coating. Some folks have said some HD-DVDs have them ( I've never believed them ). Any HD experts have more info on that? Originally Posted by PCDawg

BDs have that special coating because the data is arranged just barely beneath the surface. Any scratch, even a minor one, has a good chance of ruining the disc. HD DVDs and DVDs bury their data deeper so light scratches usually won't affect the disc. Originally Posted by sfu_lifer

When i first spotted this thread, I thought it was referring to some of the really bad transfers that have been put on bluray.
My free copy of Full Metal Jacket looks awful.. even for a 20 year old movie. A Knights Tale looks pretty bad too.
Just because its blu-ray doesn't mean the movie company put any effort into its quality.
sorry to hear about your disc bubble.. defects happen, but it always sucks when it happens to you

Haha, I know defects are an everyday thing and I'm not the only one to have experienced something similar. I just wanted to take a jab at Blu-ray and maybe upset some supporters.
Of course, I exchanged it and checked the disc before I left. The new copy is immaculate.
Oh.......R.I.P. HD-DVD.

Don't. There are a few Sony/PS3 diehards who won't take kindly to it. They might track you down and bludgeon you into a coma in a dark alley somewhere with those PS3s. God knows those things are heavy enough to work as one. Reply With Quote
