Can't read second layer of DL DVD

#1 Post by solidsnake1298 » Tue Feb 13, 2024 9:06 pm

I have a DVD boxset where the second layer of all 4 discs can't be read. It is a pretty old boxset so I'm thinking age and/or storage conditions before my friend bought (recently) as a cause for the second layers not being readable. Other boxsets for this series were ripped successfully.

I initially thought it might have been my bluray drive, but I tried a plain old DVD player and a PS4 and none of them could read the episodes that are on the second layer.

Is there anything I can do to potentially make the disc readable enough to extract their contents? The surface is scratch free and the label doesn't appear to be damaged either.
