Repairing DVD+R discs

[claxton]

Someone recently gave me a copy of a TV programme on a DVD+R disc but it keeps freezing. It appears to be a bit scratched. Would one of these CD repair kits you can get from Woolworths for �9.99 do the trick? If not, any other suggestions? Cheers.

It may not be just the scratches that are causing the freezing, if you have a DVD writer on you computer try copying the disc with the burn settings at a maximum of x4 speed. and use a DVD-R disc, in my experience stand alone players deal with these alot better.

I believe the equipment called SkipDr is very good to repair scratched discs - if that is your problem. Works by polishing the surface down by microns, takes a bit of time and effort but said to really work.
