You insert your YesVideo DVD, hoping to relive cherished home movies, but the disc won’t play. Glitches, skipping, or total failure—sound familiar? The culprit is likely disc rot, an invisible but relentless form of decay that destroys CDs and DVDs over time.
Here’s why your YesVideo DVD may be failing—and what you can do to save your home movies before they’re lost forever.
What Is Disc Rot?
Disc rot is a slow but inevitable chemical breakdown that occurs in CDs and DVDs. Tiny imperfections in the disc’s protective layer allow oxidation and moisture to seep in, leading to irreversible damage.
Signs of disc rot include:
✅ Tiny pinholes visible when holding the disc up to light
✅ Brown or black spots appearing on the disc’s surface
✅ Skipping, freezing, or complete playback failure
Even if your YesVideo DVD looks fine, it may already be deteriorating.
Other Reasons Why YesVideo DVDs Fail
Even if disc rot hasn’t fully set in, other factors can make your YesVideo DVD unreadable:
🔹 Scratches & Scuffs: Even minor scratches can make sections of a disc unreadable.
🔹 Dye Fading: The recording layer on burned DVDs breaks down over time.
🔹 Heat & Humidity Damage: Discs warp and degrade in storage.
🔹 Obsolete Technology: Newer devices often don’t support DVD playback.
