CD degradation can be caused by mishandling or improper storage, but disc rot is typically caused by a chemical reaction with the reflective layer of the disc.

Though they look almost identical to CDs, DVD structure is a little different, using a plastic disc over the reflective layer. However, because of this structure, they can also suffer from delamination, where layers of the disc separate. On the disc, delamination can look like a coffee stain. Poor case design has been blamed by some as the case for DVD disc rot. During playback, DVD disc rot appears as the picture pixelating or freezing in a specific spot, skipping, or again, becoming unplayable.

Spots on disc game A while back I got a ton of games at the flea market - one of them was We Love Katamari. The game plays fine, but it doesn't have music on some stages or the music just ends at random. After inspecting the disc, I noticed it had something like water spots on it. I'm not sure how to clean these up; I'm afraid of using alcohol because the disc may warp or something.

And tapwater What can I do to get these cleaned up? Any suggestions? Are there any special wipes I can buy somewhere that won't scratch the disc? Originally Posted by Edmond Dantes.

Cannot be rectified. It's NOT disc rot. It's water-like specks on the disc surface, the same kind that show up if you throw water at a window and it dries up leaving some sort of mark, like dirt or somesuch.

I've dealt with disc rot before in PC games and music CDs , and this isn't it. View Profile View Forum Posts. I guess my search-fu is weak, because I can't find much of anything on the subject.
