Many of my HD-DVD's did have disc rot unfortunately. I have a sata HD-DVD/Blu-ray drive I was using to back them up a few years ago. The problem is, the drive no longer works with MakeMKV. The drive works great otherwise. I bought these discs and an HD-DVD player because I thought it was neat and I like collecting physical media. I have regretted buying an HD-DVD player ever since I tried watching a movie and it didn't work.

Unrelated but... having lived through the 00's I always found writable CDs and DVDs to be such a shit unreliable tech. It always seemed like discs might work ok with some drives but not others, or just stop working after a few weeks, and they really didn't seem tolerant to even minor scratches. Just awful.
