DVD ROT! Has my disc got it ?

I think my coyote Ugly disc R1 has dvd rot but Im not sure!
Whenever I put it into my Sony Player it says is dirty but I cant see anything on the disc apart from a different colour around the outer edge of most of the disc :(
Is this dvd rot ?

The last time my Sony screamed about a dirty disc was when my Matrix R2 had a whopping great fingerprint on it.

It could be that your disc just needs a wipe clean. I doubt if it`s `dvd rot`
That manifests as a cloudy, milky residue and you can actually feel the disc is tacky to the touch. Supposedly that`s only happened to MGM`s Terminator SE and Silence of The Lambs SE so far.

Did it play in the first place?

Cos if it didn`t, then maybe you have a dodgy disc and should be asking for a refund.

If it had never worked I would have sent it back a long time ago!

Well, my Terminator R2 Disc surface looks pretty awful but visually nothing is wrong with it on screen. So should I just stick with it ??.

It doesn`t cost anything to replace it. So you might as well change it.
