But it can just stop playing... I have a handful of discs, still in cases, look pristine, no scratches, and yet can't be read by either my computer or DVD player. No recourse. It's a separate problem of course, but similar.
Disks can degrade or be manufactured badly. If they never play you can usually get a warranty replacement. Old disks can degrade, but I have many 20+ year old DVDs that play fine.
