Stacking has nothing to do with it. They do have a shelf life, however. Nobody really knows the exact shelf life, but it's somewhere in the range of 8-12 years. That also depends on the quality of the materials used to manufacture the DVD.

LOL...You make me feel like Charlie Brown..."Why's everybody always pickin' on me?"...Actually, technology isn't really 'all that'...I mean if something isn't broken, don't fix it...I like my VHS tapes just fine, and my Nintendo 64 games have already FAR outlasted some of these playstation discs
...And what's with all of this electricity and indoor plumbing shit?...What you can't light a candle?...You think your arm's gonna fall off if you go outside, pump some water from the well, and heat it on a fire to fill your washtub?...lol:D

I still don't understand why anybody would watch a movie in pan-n-scam. Old movies that were originally in the 1.33:1 ratio is one thing, but I prefer seeing what's going on on the far left and right of my movies, thank you very much.

My dvd version of The Thing wont play at all in my dvd player, or my ps2, its not scratched and nothing is on the disc, and it USED to play but now doesnt....

Anyone else have this problem with some of their movies?

i had sorta the same problem with the last samuri. the main menu would come up, but no movie.......
