Rough edges on Blade Runner discs... - Blu-ray Forum

Azzkker · 12-17-2007, 05:15 PM

anyone else notice if the edges on the blade runner bluray disks were rough from the excess hard coat? mine are a little rough, but as long as they play fine tonight im fine with it. i was just curious if anyone else ran into this on theirs.

thanks

I haven't received my copy yet (probably tomorrow), but I had a similar problem with another disc from Warner. It wasn't rough edges, but a spot in the middle that looked like the coating hadn't been spread to that area (disc played fine)

just got mine. no rough edges on it.

Blu/DVD/Blu/DVD/Blu. NO HD DVD. haha

rough edges have been around since the CD's... i usually take a No.2 pencil (the wood ones) and run the side of the pencil against the outside edge of the discs.

i have dealt with the cd issues before, but this is a little different, its like the hard coating has drips on the edges that were not trimmed properly. no big deal a i am watching it right now with no problems.

thanks

Is it possible that this will cause the disc to be off balance and cause problems down the road?

I just checked mine and the main feature disc has rough edges. Haven't played it yet, but this shouldn't cause any serious problems, right?

mines a little rough and sounds a little louder (spinning) than the average movie

I doubt it. At worst it might throw the disc out of balance and make it vibrate when spinning, but I think the chances of that are remote. I had no problems with mine.

Mine should arrive somewhere in the next two hours. I'll have to check that out.

UPDATE: Yup, my final cut disc has bubbly drip marks on the edge. I did a quick test of playback and it doesn't seem to affect anything. I'll have to watch the whole thing though.

LOL ! , pretty crappy for a studio thats going Blu!

have you tried getting a pen and running it along the edges to smooth it down?

RickD · 12-19-2007, 06:43 PM

If Warner keeps this up, next thing you know we will all be boiling them.

Mine are rough as well. I got the briefcase with the 5 disc version, and while the 2 DVDs are fine, the 3 Blu-Rays are quite rough. They seem to play fine, but they're pretty loud when I put them in my PS3.

It's probably not hurting anything, but it doesn't sound good.

Is there a way to exchange for non-rough BD?
It just sickens me to see that piece of "BD made of highest quality" paper together with those rough BDs....

NoQuestion · 12-25-2007, 04:58 PM

Dont know about a replacement plan for this..... everyone is still waiting for WB to announce a replacement plan for the repeat disc 5( i dont think they have announced anything yet

)

Plasmid · 12-26-2007, 02:12 AM

There's no replacement plan for rough bds that I know of yet, and I don't really mind it much at all. The rough edges don't bother me, and I doubt the imbalances are gonna cause any problems for most people.

But on terms of getting what you paid for, it sucks that Warner gave us these poorly produced discs for our money.

howarmat · 12-26-2007, 02:14 AM

Mine had slightly rough edges but my Sammy-1400 played it perfectly

I just have standard "non rough edge" discs for all my Blade Runner set discs. I guess Warner's target market for the rough edge discs were primarily folks who registered at Blu-ray.com in December.

I do feel left out since I have yet to see one of these legendary "rough edge" BDs.
