| | Posted: | | | | If it's just a surface scratch it will be fine. Blu-ray has a hard coat on the surface. You can have a DVD disc etched with surface scratches.
But unless those scratches make a like a complete circle the data is not affected. | | | | Last edited: by ShinyDiscGuy |

| | Posted: | | | | Try watching it to see if it's an issue. Like CD's and DVD's, the data on the disc is created with redundancy - multiple copies - so if one spot is unreadable, it tries the backup. |

If there are, maybe cleaning it with a dry cloth can help. | | | Blu-ray collection

| | Posted: | | | | Before you laugh, this has actually worked for me on DVDs. I haven't had to try it on BRD yet. If it's skipping, freezing or pixelating, use a disc cleaner or wipe the playing surface on a dry soft surface such as a terrycloth towel or cotton shirt. With your little finger, get some skin oil by rubbing the end up and down where the nose and cheek meet, down by your lip. Rub lightly in the direction of scratch and try playing again...don't wipe it off. The next time you go to play it, do it again before playing. It has actually worked for me.
If it still skips and you can acquire some jewelers rouge, you can try polishing the scratch out...gently. This would probably be a one time deal.
In either case, you can't really hurt it if it's already broken. Good luck. | | | | Marty - Registered July 10, 2004, User since 2002. |
