Anyone notice imprinting on BD-Rs from contact with textured material?

(1/2) > >>

nstgc:
So, I just finished reading this article about this guy whose BD collection got trashed and naturally I freak the fuck out (I've been around her enough you you guys to know it natural for me).

Has anyone noticed this? My Optical Quantum disks from 10 months ago seem to be okay, but I was wondering if any one can confirm this.

Blu-ray discs are a bit squashy, so don't have anything pressing at them for longer periods of time, which will damage them.
Use the plastic cases instead of those white sleeves you can get, even if they take up more space.
If you've already damaged your discs this way, heating them with a hair dryer might fix them.

Personally, the only optical discs I use are for console games, and I've always stored them in the plastic cases they come in.

anything can happen, I have had the pattern from a cd case imprint on cd-r. I would assume this goes up there with bitrot happening by the layers of dye decaying over time.

Still keep them in their plastic covers, they look nicer anyway all lined up on the shelf.

i think those imprints usually occur when you store them on a warm location. the CD/DVDs i had that i placed beside my computer got slight imprints because the area was pretty warm, the ones placed at some shelf where the air conditioner was directed didnt develop any imprints.
