At the start of the year I wrote about my first experience with trouble reading a manufactured CD (rather than burned media).
Now I’ve encountered a case of DVD rot.

No surprise, it’s a Warner DVD.
Warner Bros. will supposedly make good on replacements when possible, by writing to them at whv@wbd.com. But I don’t want to go through the hassle.
The set appears to still be in print, so I ordered a new copy. If Popeye volumes 2&3 show the same problem then I’ll contact Warner.
If nothing else, this site is useful for checking on some things. I see that I wrote about the Popeye set nineteen years ago today, having paid exactly the same price that I paid again a few minutes ago.
