I don't save DVDs. I buy them on Listia and elsewhere. I watch them once or twice. Then I list them here to get credits to get more DVDs. All my discs have been watched at least once. While some may have minor scratches they ALL PLAY PERFECTLY or they're discarded.
Any questions, just ask. Thanks for looking.
