Nigerian VCD SolutionHey Nairalanders, Are you tried of VCDs that freeze up when your watching them. Or the Vcds thats have boxes going though them   ? Well I have a solution, When that happens to your Vcd, you just rinse the disc for about 30 secs or 1 mintue with warm water. then wipe the water off and play the disc. it should be clearer and the freezing should stop. I tried it and it has work for about the past 4 years that I have been doing it. I hope your Nigerian movies will be more enjoyable.

Rinse in warm water?  Can anyone explain why that works? Since such VCDs came from Naija, is it possible you are washing away the ' freezing' evil spirit

That can be worth trying,if it works it then mean that ,the found of this solution is a guru. i will give it a trial and get back to you.

YOU can rinse either side or both.

The shiny part is what the laser reads. Washing the top leaves you with the same results.

If the rinsing thing didn't work for you, use toothpaste to solve the scratch problems. Should be used as a last resort as it's a relatively high-abrasive substance.
You can also use Brasso metal polish, auto wax or basically any abrasive compound. Just polish as you would a scratch on your car. The aim should really be only to recover data for reburning not for continued use of the disk.

(bootleg/bootleged means fake)
