DVD Rot in Rhino Volume 11!

[gorncaptain]

I've been working my way through all my old Rhino discs and Volumes since last summer. Everything was just peachy until tonight. At the layer change on "Ring Of Terror", right before "The Phantom Creeps" short, everything just freezes up! I can't get past the MST Jukebox menu either. (Tried two different players, and the results were the same.) There is obvious discoloration visible in the DVD upon closer inspection.

Discs two and three appear okay, but disc four also has discoloration going on. Will try to play them later tonight. This really sucks, as Shout won't be getting to a reissue of this for a while yet. And who knows if the extras will get ported over?

In any case, I just wanted to get the word out. Check your DVD's!

That's regrettable, but Volume 11 is still available at Amazon at $39.99 if you want to replace the set. The actual Amazon, not third-party scalpers.

I actually have Vol 11 and all the episodes played fine. Granted I was watching the discs on my Mac, which seems to play DVDs better than the actual DVD player sometimes (see The Beast of Yucca Flats).

Yeah I don't recall volume 11 having any technical DVD issues, aside from the master tape for Horrors of Spider Island being pretty fuzzy towards the end.
