Some time back I posted the name of an NIST publication on DVDs and CDs.
Today I used that information to recover a movie DVD.

My wife belongs to a book club and they had a special for Harry Potter and
the Order of the Phoenix DVD if we ordered in advance of its availability
date. When I got the disc, it wouldn't play the first track or so but the
player skipped to a short way into the move. By selecting scenes, I could
see the first part, but none of the previews and ads. When I tried it on
my PC, it wouldn't get past the FBI warning. When all else fails, read
the manual, or in this case above publication. Cleaned the disc according
to the directions and all is fine. If anyone needs this information, see

Section 6, cleaning.

Thanks, Glenn. Much appreciated.
