General DVD Question

[Kraven]

Alright, so I bought my BB DVD about a year ago, and it's starting to skip at some parts a bit. I don't notice any visible scratches on it, but was wondering if it's possible that it can get worn down from being watched too often, or if that's why it'd be skipping. I probably watch it more than any of my other DVDs, but after only a year I don't think I should have to get a new one. Should it be doing that?

Scratches? How do you handle your DVDs? I ask this because practically every single person I've known mishandles their DVDs/CDs by never putting them back in the case, leaving them out of the case lying around, disregard proper holding [fingerprints and marks]. Of course it could also be the dvd player itself. I've had DVDs that would skip and freeze in one but would work just fine in others.

It's likely a defect with the DVD itself, but it can also have something to do with the DVD player you are playing the DVD on as well. As I've experienced playing a DVD that skips on one player, but becomes skip free on another player one too many times.

It could be the DVD player, it is getting a bit old. I try to handle my DVDs well enough, for the most part. I put them back in their proper cases more often than not. I'll try seeing if it works on other players. Thanks for the advice.
