Title: One star for manufacturing quality - loved the movie
Review: I bought this DVD back in 2006, and was about to screen it for the new generation of Potter-philes when I noticed that the entire aluminum layer of Disc 1 (the movie) was coverd by thousands of tiny black dots. On closer inspection, these turned out to be tiny pin-holes in the metal layer, which appears to be melting away. Disc 2 (special features) seemed perfectly fine.The disc still plays well, but I suspect that in the near future the holes will get big enough to defeat the error-correction function of the player. Needless to say, there is no legal way of creating a back-up copy of the disc while it still works - I seem to recall an offer to upgrade old DVDs to Blu-ray for a small fee, but it doesn't seem to be available now.
Is the review positive or negative?
