For deeper scratches use this same method but start with 2500 grit then move to 3000 then buff with polishing agent

*So much simpler than paying 3,000 for a resurface machine, I still wouldn't trust myself not to screw it up though.*

Hi! I recently discovered that Japanese inner cellophane sleeves leave streaks on discs, can you tell me how to safely remove them?

1.4Kg

Nickel back, still receiving unfounded hate even years later 😂😂 So technically? This method could work on ps1 and blue bottom ps2 discs? I ask as dvds and cds have that aluminium strip inside with the actual data stored on. Does ps1 and ps2 blue bottoms have that too?

This is a tricky category depending if you primarily have concerts from DVD and Blu-ray that have been ripped or specifically just 5 minutes music video clips of individual songs. Personally for best results I use TMDB (also great for compatibility with Nova Video Player for Nvidia shield users) to accurately name things and I set the category type to Movies (make sure you don't put any actual movies in the folder however, it's more of a concert movie folder specifically for music content)....... I actually have 4 movie categories, one called music specials which isn't movies but for metadata purposes to most accurately match with the least hassle, consider them movies content type. The same trick is also recommended for comedy specials. With accurate naming so it can pull the right metadata automatically to make everything look nice you want to treat all those 1 hour comedy stand-up specials as movie file types, then of course a real movie is folder for actual real films, and I separate 4K movies into a movies 4K folder because I like all my highest quality content in its own section. It's superb results, browsing, artwork, metadata, everything looks very polished professional and ACCURATE and complete when people take the time to learn how to set up the categories and name their files appropriately so when you click update 99% of the time you don't have to manually identify or correct it because you've already done the work of giving an accurate correct information so the application can do what it does best, make your content look great, easily browse it, and happily enjoy watching it. Was disappointed to see this wasn't a more thorough detailed in-depth guide but at least it's a start. Now if jellyfish would just have a competing app as wonderful as Plex has been for actual specific music files I could go fall in on the jelly but until that day my thousands of albums we'll have to be best consumed through Plex + Plexamp + Alexa Plex Skill = Personal Music Server Nirvana (no pun). Unfortunately it seems quite impossible due to how the application works and lack of cloud features etc to ever get voice support easily on Alexa.

I hope I'm able to get a copy of Salivel in my collection.

Where is the Hush music video located on the DVD menu?

Only 146 subscribers? You should have way more. Your videos are great.

Come back here and go to Disk Union, Book Off, Surugaya, Recofan, HMV, and other smaller shops

Love Japan. The music scene there is amazing and so vibrant. Japanese buyers for HMV and Tower Records in Japan travel to my local record shop and they spend an obscene amount of money for used records and ship them all back to Japan. I've seen one of them with huge binders with lists of records they are looking for. Thanks for this interesting video.

Great video and glad you found some real treasures! I am a primarily a CD collector and knowing that they still have a strong presence in Japan is another reason for me to visit there someday (particularly Tokyo)! I live in Miami, Florida, US and we are fortunate to have several thriving independent music stores. They cater to mostly vinyl so, if I'm lucky, I find older CD's at the various thrift stores I go to for $1.00 to $2.00 each depending on which shop I'm at. New titles I order online but I'm trying not to add anything unless it's a "must have" anniversary or deluxe reissue with bonus content. I have over 10,000 CD's! 😎

Great video

From an Opeth fan in Canada to an Opeth fan in Australia, just want to say Great job! I am seeing them in Montreal in just over two weeks. New album is going to be great! 🤘

Great Video, I have just recently purchased all of these myself, at about 20% higher on average than you paid for them (Although i got the Jewel Case version of Light-bulb sun as I hate Digipaks) I would love to see more of your DVD-Audio or Blu-Ray audio surround collection .

I would like to see this work by example: at first a disc with read errors, then after polishing the same disc without errors. I have made several attempts myself, but scratches only got worse after polishing and nothing solved the problem. I might have used the wrong stuff, but in my experience a disc that is not readable in multiple dvd and bluray readers, is lost forever.

I tried this with a orange colored sponge attached to a drill but made it worse how can i fix it.

Thats not a drill

Im definitely going to try this

Outstanding dude thank you

Ну царапины вы таким методом не уберете только почистите диск!

Coole Box ❤

Im watching this, and the whole time im thinking.... But its $3 to get it professionally buffed....

I sell whatever I can profit on. I didn't even think of CDs. Didn't think they would have enough value to be worth listing & shipping.

Wow, I was using MakeMKV in the early 2000's it was free then and had the same note. Good to see 20 years later things haven't changed

What are you posting the CDs in? The Post office near me doesnt sell cardboard CD mailers anymore. I had to opt for a small padded mailer instead.

Will this work with vinyl?

So much work for a freakin’ Nickelback cd, unbelievable…

Hi. Besides the drill, can you add links to all that you used to clean the disc? (polish, microfibre cloth etc.)

Thank you. This totally did the job for all my scratched CDs. How would you clean the buffing pad after use?

Hey nice video, Can i get your instagram?

Hi, I’ve tried this with t cut, it worked to smooth out the scratches but it does leave very fine swirl marks on the disk if you hold it up to the light. Do yours have this?

Thank you for the video, very interesting. I have been trying to resurface discs for a long time (for aesthetical purposes) following various approaches, but nothing seems to really lead to the results I expected (i.e., basic absence of scratches). I tried MANY approaches - (including sandpaper, which I do not recommend at all: according to my experience, anything below 5000 sandpaper will essentially kill the disc, especially if it is a DVD - CD still resists till 3000, 2000 is already a major killer. I also do not recommend direct hand movements instead of drilling, as they will add scratches...). Your approach seems to be very effective, but I didn't manage to replicate your results in terms of final quality (I tried both CDs and DVDs). My setup is the following: - Polishing machine (essentially a multi-speed drill with a 125mm tip) - Ryobi sponge (different than yours, but I do not think the sponge is responsible) - Maguire ScratchX (I tried other anti-scratches, results are similar - if not worse) I am keeping the drill for some more time on the disc in comparison to your approach (I will try to reduce the time to see if the problem is related to that). Apparently, the disc seems to improve a lot after I used the liquid+polish, but after washing it/cleaning it, I see a LOT of additional circular micro-scratches due to the spin of the drill (ONLY when the disc is checked under proper reflective conditions - the tricky part is that you do not see it if you look at it "normally"). The previous scratches are gone, but now there are MANY lighter ones. I am not sure what kind of mistake I am making. Did you also have the same experience? Is it inevitable or is your disc scratch-free under any lighting-reflective condition? I am also quite confident it is due to the anti-scratch liquid, which is essentially abrasive and produces abrasion to cover the scratches. Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

hi great way to restore dvds just to get an idea thr price of tools used like buffer an cost of polish? thanks

good stuff!

Thanks for the video! Not my favorite album as well, but it’s still very good, and it has “High Hopes” on it! It looks like that boxset was quite a good deal, considering the Blu-ray was never played! Also although you don’t collect vinyl, I think it’s nice to have a vinyl of an album with great artwork, it’s just feels more pleasing to look at if you ask me!

Thank you for sharing. I’ve had live at Pompeii for years. Also look at David Gilmour live at the royal Albert hall

Instead of lens cleaner can you use rubbing alcohol ?

Can i do it on my ps2 game cd its working ❔️

Will the buffing pad will it do enough to remove most of the scratches or a sand a light sand paper will removed the scratches I seen videos using people wet sand the disc then they will buffed it with a buffing pad but since am new I don't wanna use a sand paper what do you think

Thanks so much for a helpful and valuable video.

I think the correct eBay classification is "better than new"! 😂

I have watched a bunch of these videos now as I'm getting ready to try this out on my own. your video seems like the only one that actually plays the noise that the drill makes while you're using it, this adds a bit of realism to my expectations that I don't think I have gotten until now. thank you very much for making the video 👍🏽

Can I apply the magic ereaser manually onto a layer of car scratches removal and than repeat circular movements with it? Would this have the same results than if I used a drill?

Really cool video, and awesome to find someone from Australia with the same taste in music. You from Melbourne?

Wow! Dvds at Value Village thrift shop START at $3.99 can.

I personally don't have any DVD'S but for sure gonna get some now that I saw this, and side note I love Maynard's side projects also A Perfect Circle and Pusifer, I'm gonna see APC live soon it's gonna be my first concert I've ever gon too so I'm excited.

I definitely need some DVD'S

As long as the pieces fit the spindle will be fine

I too am a TOOL fan.
