Check out my temp site ( - EXTERNAL LINK - ) on the A.I. Artificial Intelligence Widescreen DVD deterioration problem.
The temp site has all the images. The main image ( - EXTERNAL LINK - is the worrying one. Take a look and let me know what's the problem as I'm not sure what causes it.
It's worrying.
P.S. If my temp site bandwidth max out, here's the whole site in zip > - EXTERNAL LINK -

What happens if your bandwidth is used up entirely? It is now.

Anyway, here's what I wrote and posted at that temp site.
Recently, I did a random watch on one of DVDs in my growing collection over the years and discovered something worrying. It appears that the movie disc of A.I. is deteriorating (see DSCN5721.jpg). Looks like some oxidization occured inside the disc layer. Because of this, I'm having problem playing this disc on my DVD player. My DVD collection is kept inside a cupboard in room temperature (estimated 28ºC) and mild humidity of 50% (maybe higher). So far, only this disc has this problem. A lot of DVDs that I have acquired a few years earlier to this one and are still okay. Strangely, the bonus disc seems okay as seen in (see DSCN5722.jpg). I'm pondering whether I should replace it with another. Then again, the thought of some manufacturing problem in this line will spell the same problem.
Now, the real worrying question.
Will pre-recorded DVDs end up like this in the future?
It's worrying for avid DVD collectors.

If it isn't playing anymore, go ahead and replace it. It sucks for sure, but you can get it from amazon.com for $10.39. It was probably just a production error that went unnoticed, so you would be fine with a new one. As for the future question, optical discs don't last forever but they should definitely have lasted longer than your A.I. disc.

As I'm not in the US, I will probably have a tough time replacing it. Anyway, I may wait for the Blu-Ray or HD-DVD edition, if any.
A.I. was a gift. Definitely not a great movie but a wonderful case study of how to make two movies in one along with Pearl Harbor.:p
