Blockbuster labels....

[drue]

Anybody got an ingenious way to get off those bastard Blockbuster edge to edge labels they put on their DVD's. Got some previewed videos I'd like to restore to a more original condition. Whether it's a chemical product or just a technique, doesn't matter... as long as the damn label comes off cleanly, but the screenprinting on the DVD stays and the disc isn't ruined.

buy originals

heat it with a blow dryer... i guess.

Some movies definitely aren't worth the price of a new copy, but aren't a bad deal previewed. It's either previewed or nothing...

I've never seen a previewed DVD from Blockbuster with anything like that on it.

Might try a generic "Goo be gone" product from the laundry/stain-removal section of a drug/grocery store.

Heating would do well with getting the label off, but not sure what it could/would do to the disc itself.

Before you put anything on it try it on an old cdr and see if it messes up teh label on the disk

I would never buy one a previewed DVD from Blockbuster. Not after having to take every 4th DVD or so I rent from them because the disc it too scratched to play correctly. :| Some people seem to forget that DVD are not meant to be run across the pavement.

You've got a damn finicky DVD player. I've never had a problem with a DVD here, and the previewed ones are in great condition (other than that dang blockbuster logo clear label).
