Am I just that special?  I've never dropped a *movie* DVD (I've dropped software and game DVDs though).

From what I've inferred, the casing would be similar to that used on minidiscs, or the UMD format on the Sony PSP.  Which would make the discs similar in durability to VHS.

That's happened to me  a bunch of times. Now I'm never sure if a disc is going to work just fine or skip and jump all over the place.

Seriously, I'm a huge die-hard LaserDisc fan, and between my dad and I, we own at least 150 LaserDiscs (most bought right before DVD came out, and have superior sound and picture quality), in addition to who knows how many VHS tapes and DVDs.

it all depends if you the kind of person that can keep a cd form gettitng scratched.
im not one of those people,unfortunately
it never fails,i get a nothing little tiny mark on a disc and my favorite part of a movie or song will skip and the rest will play fine.
If im lacking patience that day ,it p**ses me off and i curse discs and praise vhs and casette tapes. so i guess i do sometimes perfer vhs, because i know that the tape will not skip.
When your watching a movie and really  start getting into it and it freezes or skips it sucks!it does something to break the vibe or attention of the movie and then you end up having to search thru the chapters to find the part again. now your taking the enjoyment of the whole thing away and making it a process.
for what
quality.
security over quality, sometimes.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
