scratched back up dvd
 

I have a back up madden 2004 tdk dvd that was scratched. I tried to repair it with a repair kit and now it wont even load. I know the kit is good because I use it on my music cds. I thought maybe its the dvd brand I am using has anybody repaired a disk if so what brand did you repair

I personally dont bother with repairing backup discs...

DVD-r's are so cheap now, I just make another backup...

TylerDurden may be able to give you some advice, since he repairs some of his discs...

I dont know what kind of kit you own but. If the scratches are not all that deep then using Car polish and a soft cloth will fix them.

On some harder to repair scratches use a Disc Doctor either cd or dvd (their both basically the same) then polish off the fine scratches made by the Disc Doctor to make your disc look new again.




Tyler!

the polish worked great no need to waste another dvd. thanks for the advice

Glad I could help.



Tyler!

I recently used a carwax buffer with a touch of Turtle car wax and was able to get out some slightly deeper scratches than the normal wear and tear scatches and worked out great. just thought i would pass this along incase any of you have a moderately scatched cd. It turned out like brand new.
Can be a little tricky to hold on to while buffing though so be careful when attempting this method.:D
