I guess it could be that too, didn't think of that. I keep my dvd's in binders with disk sleeves, instead of their dvd containers.

I wonder if animation can stand more compression then live action video with less loss of video quality.

I invest a lot of money into protecting my CD's and DVD's. Probably more than they're worth. I have a special coating I spray on them to prevent scratches and resist heat and I also always keep them in protective covers. I also have some "CD Rings" that go around the CD and make it virtually impossible to scratch when playing them or just having them out. I've never had a scratched CD that was done by fault of my own (though I've bought a few used ones that were in pretty bad shape)

I've heard mixed experiences about those cd ring things that go around a disk. Never heard of any spray stuff you spray onto disks to protect them.

Environment makes a huge difference too on how long things last. Hot and humid generally isn't good for them. Your spray will do nothing if you scratch the top of the disc (label side up)...you can actually do more harm that way than scratching the bottom believe it or not. Manny said it best, the user dictates how well the disc will play.

I guess it's a combination of user, environment and how one cares for them.

I read somewhere that double sided are more easy to scratch and mess up then single sided.
