DVD audio discs from my fellowship and two towers sets both refuse to play. Tried my DVD and bluray machines. Looks like they rotted to me. DVD machine says "no play" and my bluray machine looks at it and spits it out. I sold my ROTK set on Amazon some time back (2+ years). Didn't check to see if the DVD audio disc played, but the buyer didn't complain, so I assume it was OK. Replaced it with the ROTK set containing the bluray audio disc. Also, these sets are apparently out of print again? I can't beleive it, I thought I was the only one! I tried to play the 3 dvds and they didn't work!! I bought the three sets also, I'm not planing to spend more than 300 dollars just to replace those, it's a shame, many very old DVDs and CDs still play perfectly, I don't know what was the problem with these sets

it's a shame, many very old DVDs and CDs still play perfectly, I don't know what was the problem with these sets certain discs do go bad, it's usually just an issue with how they were manufactured all those years ago, something went wrong chemically over time. I've had this happen with three Criterion titles, which they thankfully replaced, and three French BDs, which became coasters. Both of those were acknowledged issues with pressing plants.

I just finished listening to my Two Towers DVD audio disc in its entirety. Still plays perfectly. I bought it the day it was released from Footlight Records in Manhattan. I did remove the audio DVD discs from the package and placed them in jewel cases, but I see written above that others did that too and they still won’t play for some. I was also able to burn the cd’s to iTunes no problem a few years ago, so at least it’s not all pressings that are failing. But I wonder what causes this to happen? I sure hope this wasn’t the last time they’ll play for me. Next up, I’ll try Fellowship, and see what happens. p.s.: I’m playing them on my Sony 4K blu ray player UBP X800
