View profile »A few weeks ago I purchased several movie dvd's from Frys. I took them to Hawaii with us on vacation by taking them out of their boxes and wrapped them between some beach towels in our checked in luggage.
The 1st and 2nd night there we watched 2 of them. On the 3rd night, none of them worked, even the 2 we already watched. A "no disk" error showed up on both dvd players (living room & bedroom).
Brought them home and tried them on our home dvd player. Same problem. Tried another dvd I've had for years with no problem, that one was ok.
So all of the dvd's I bought from Frys are now not readable. Why did 2 of them work for a while, then stopped working.

- Are they scratched in any way, shape or form?
- Are they special discs? I mean, are they rentals or "short terms" discs that will deteriorate after a predetermined time period.
Have you tried taking them back to Fry's, explaining the situation and asking for a straight up exchange?
Jason, helpful?

Just wondering.

(1). Odd that the 1st 2 played fine, then stopped (along with the others). Makes me wonder if when I took them out of the box, it triggered something that allowed them to be played from only a short period of time.
(2). Something at the airport security for checked-in luggage had something to do with it (x ray?).
Yes, DVD's to Hawaii seems odd, but after our 16th trip there, there's nothing new anymore, and the diving during the days still compels me to go there. For us here on the west coast, it's only 5 hours to get there.

I go to the town where I was born around twice a year, and I still haven't taken any discs (except for an Elvis concert for my grandma)...granted, I do go to the movies, but you have to realize that there is an IMAX theatre there, and that the theatres that I go to are nice and comfortable...
What were the titles?
