Its definately not psychedelic pine trees, for example if you go to 
youtube and search for "Ali G Ice cream glove" (the sketch I referred to) 
you see these charts he wrote out and displays on an easel. When I first 
copied the DVD I could see this clearly, but now all I see is white and 
some dark smudges where the text should be. It is almost like a television 
with the brightness set too high....it's annoying because people start 
talking about the Borat movie over my house and if they never saw "Da Ali 
G Show" I like to show them it and it's still funny without seeing the 
numbers, but it's much better to actually see them.

As I said, the Zep DVD's that I abcked up, using DVD Shrink (which you had 
just told me about at the time.....which somehow not only copied the 
DVD's, it actually restored them as the originals were skipping).... but 
the Zep DVD has not faded but somehow Ali G/Borat/Bruno has and it kinda 
pisses me off. Pisses me off mroe that I lent the originals to someone who 
I haven't gotten them back from yet.

Maybe that's the problem. Memorex is officially no longer questioned as 
being live.....? :)
