   But it is much more fun to generate one's own video files.  :)

   Maybe the stock was contaminated in transit or in storage before hitting the   
   shops?  Can you notice anything else like a common manufacturer for those   
   discs?   
      
   I wouldn't be surprised that known compromised discs end up in those bargain   
   bins in department stores.   
      
   Do your bad DVD purchases span a wide number of years?  ..or are the bad ones   
   specific to a narrow purchasing period and/or source?
