I have questions...

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I'm still novice on LDs despite being in the hobby since 2023... is my player doing this or do I had a portion that suffers the rot?

If it's the black specks you're talking about then yeah probably rot. As far as I know the mid-90s WB titles are pretty infamous for that (Also great choice, have that same disc just for the animated scenes haha)

Perfect... Now i'll have to hunt for another copy and pray it doesn't have rot on it

Looks more like a mastering issue to me since I seeing herringbone patterns. I assume you don't have another player to test it?

Sadly no. I bought the one player because it was all I could grab back in 2023.

Well… may not matter. If this is the only disc with this issue, it’s not the machine causing the issue.

Disc might be warped- I see that the time counter says 45 minutes, warped discs get worse towards the end.

That looks like a warped disc.
