You Can Fix Scratched Discs!

Scratched discs can cause favorite songs to skip, distort and pixilate beloved movies, or freeze exciting video games. Even with careful handling, discs often get scratched. You don’t have to throw away and replace scratched discs. Disc repair is possible for most optical discs including CD, DVD, Playstation, Playstation 2, XBOX, XBOX 360 and Wii discs.

The Nuts and Bolts of Optical Disc Technology

Whether the disc is an audio CD, game disc, DVD or computer software disc, the data is stored in a spiral track of pits molded into a plastic layer. The laser lens system of the CD/DVD/video game player reads the disc by passing a laser beam through the clear plastic, reﬂecting off of an aluminum layer and hitting a device that detects changes in light. When a scratch occurs, a ridge is formed in the plastic layer on either side of the scratch. The laser lens is unable to focus through those ridges, resulting in distortion, skipping or freezing.

Our Patented, Scientifically-Proven Technology

Nearly ﬁve years of research went into the development of radial resurfacing as a safe and effective solution to fix scratched discs, now the preferred method for disc repair. The secret to the effectiveness of Digital Innovation's Disc Repair Systems is in the FlexiWheel™, a wheel engineered with ﬂexible spokes to provide uniform pressure from the inside edge to the outside edge of a disc during resurfacing. This action polishes away the thinnest possible layer of plastic, thereby removing ridges created by a scratch and allowing the laser to focus properly on disc data.

Extensive scientiﬁc testing and actual use by millions of consumers in real-world applications show that this process completely repairs most discs that skip or have distortion due to play-side scratches. The SkipDr, DvdDr and GameDr Disc Repair Systems are the only repair solutions on the market that use the patented radial resurfacing technology.
