Hi there.....

I Have a number of DVD's which i would like to backup but was wondering somthing. Even though i take great care to keep all my DVD's spotless somehow even though keep them in my DVD wallet they have gotten dirty AND got finger prints on. Now i dont know whos done this ( and really it dont matter ) but can anyone suggest a good way of cleaning dvds without damaging them? Such as a method or cloth and where i could get them from?


By the way i am from UK..

Cheers me dears!! :>

I just use a soft eye glass lens cleaning cloth for the dirt and fingerprints. Don't wipe in a circular motion. Don't know where in the UK they sell those but probably like the US can pick one up at most stores.

I use the smallest drop(s) of water, and then that particular cloth (like a eye lens cleaner etc.). And yes, never in a circular motion.

So I guess your a fruit of loom type of guy/gal :0) j/k

Here's a excerpt from sony and a link on the care of media and the circular motion:
Quote:
And use a soft, lint-free cloth, and wipe gently in a straight line from the center of the disc, out. This will avoid any potential scrapes from interrupting with the circular path of the signal.
