I bought Back To School yesterday. Its a flipper, and I noticed near the middle of the DVD where the hole is a circle of "bubbles". They are even and go completely around the center. I've noticed these slightly on a few other DVDs, but you really have to look for them (I went and checked a few flippers I had after noticing this DVD). I have never seen it this bad though.

Is there anything to worry about? Also what are these and what causes them? It was a $3 DVD so I doubt I will waste my time returning it at Wal-Mart. It plays fine though. I just want to make sure that whatever this is will not hurt my player, or something.

I've included a scan of the DVD. And yes my scanner needs cleaning badly. Didn't know it had that much dust on it until I went to scan the DVD earlier.

sounds like air bubbles when they made the disc, If it works fine I would not worry about it

Yep, I've had those. Nothing to worry about.

Never had that happen to me before I've never seen "bubbles" on any of my DVDs.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a few - but no problems.

I don't have any on the DVDs I own, but I've seen 'em before and those discs worked fine.

About 99% of the time they are on double-sided discs.

Yeah the other DVDs I noticed them slightly on were double-sided.

Thanks for everyones quick response on not to worry about it. The DVD plays fine, its just I had never noticed these until now.

I have bought several DVDs from the walmart by my house this year. Probably like 100 or more & i would say 1/3 of my movies have these & eventually become unplayable. I thought it my be my ps5 but its not doing it to any of my video games & ive never really checked new dvds until now. Im so frustrated with this because i just opened a new movie 10 minutes ago & 5 minutes in it starts skipping, playing with no sound & then it stopped working. I took the dics out & theres a bubble about half way around the center hole
