Warner Bros. will replace rotten DVDs A rash of disc rot has plagued DVD collections for years. Warner Bros. wants to make good on damaged discs.

Only two years after the introduction of the original PlayStation, the DVD Forum had introduced the DVD-RAM standard: 2.58 GB per side of a disc in a protective caddy.

Researchers from China have succeeded in developing a new type of disc with a storage capacity of 200 terabytes, the size of a DVD.
