Hello Barrett ,
I am very happy from your answer, and your english is perfect, much better than mine*! And thanks for the translation.
In France, at the beginning (january 2015), we discovered a little (!) number of rotten discs, all pressed by QOL. So QOL admitted the fact, accused the «*bad resin*» and made exchanges.
At this time, it's the unique «*official explanation*».
But during the years 2015 and 2016 we discovered more and more rotten discs (verified by more than one user, on two or more different models of blu ray players). At this time*: 121 discs, by 5 press operators and 20 publishers. But others are coming*! (we discovered during the holidays new problems with «*Paris Texas*» and «*Wings of desire*», for ex., Arte Editions. I have the problem with my «*Wings of*»*: one year ago, my disc was OK, now, it is dead).
But there is no new and global position from the professionnals. Silence. It's case by case.
Some press operators say to see with the publishers, some publishers to see with press operators. Some publishers make exchanges, some never answer to our mails. Sellers/sale sites refuses exchanges after 2 or 3 weeks. And some discs are out of stock.
So, we don't know WHO is really responsible in that jungle. And we don't know which is the REAL problem with blu ray.
For us, the problems are especially with QOL (now named Media Logistique or KDG), Arvato (= Sonopress) and MPO. But we see now others press operators, like Sony.
So, is it only a french problem with some press operators, or something else*? (we don't have statistics on foreign discs, of course).
I wrote yesterday to a national consumer association, because we need a real explanation, and a real exchange guarantee.
I note that the profession is preparing the UHD (4K) blu ray, and perhaps it will never officially admit problems with 2K blu ray.
For Spain, i saw a website speaking of problems (i left a message too), link

Thanks for your translation,

PS*: my grandparents were Italians, near Cesena (not far from Rimini!). I must admit that I like Italy and prefer your football team (to-night!)
