DVD is a fairly new format for us--only have been adding for a couple
of
years--but there's been surprisingly little damage to the DVDs so far.
For
us, the VHS is more problematic: accidental [read: careless]
desensitization zappings; twisted tape; broken housing; etc.
I'd like to piggyback a question onto Carol's #2, if I might. Do any
of
you have a set procedure for cleaning/maintaining your DVDs upon
return?
