Question

I have a stupid question. If I pack DVDs in my suitcase for a flight will they still work?

Answer 1

Depends on what you mean by that, if you plan on moving to a distant country. The DVD format may be different and the DVD will not play. If you are planning to watch the DVDs on the plane. There may be a few security checks on them (paranoid flight companies ever since terrorism strikes). Other than that I hope you have a nice flight! :)

Answer 2

yeppppp

Answer 3

y

Answer 4

Yes. Why wouldn't it?

Answer 5

technically the air pressure in the airplane should not cause the dvds to some how trigger the atoms to make it stop working so you and your dvds should be fine

Answer 6

of course the dvd's would work.

Answer 7

yes...as long as you pack them well so that they don't get crushed. The x-ray machine will not erase/harm them.

Answer 8

They should be fine. Just don't do anything you normally wouldn't do like scratch them, leave them out. If you're worried about them going through the x-ray machine, they will be fine. The xrays just check and see if they are DVD's but will not write or delete anything.

Answer 9

Yes, of course they will.  People take them on airplanes every single day and they even rent them in airports so you can watch them on your laptop!!  They will be fine...rest assured!

Answer 10

Yes, because DVD data is written using lasers, unlike the data on floppy discs and other magnetic media.

Answer 11

NO ,they will be ruin forever,,regardless of what every body says in here,

Answer 12

Sure, assuming the DVD player you try to play them on is compatible and they don't get scratched up.

They are not magnetic, so the various security devices you and your baggage go through will not hurt them.

Answer 13

Yes, absolutely.  They are not affected by x-rays.

Answer 14

Yes, but if you put them in your checked baggage they may get broken. It would be best to carry them on board with you.

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

of coarse! Just pack the, carefully so they don't get scratched up and they don't break. they will work just fine.

If you are  going on a vacation or something have fun.

Answer 17

I brought some of my DVDs from America to the UK when I moved and there is nothing wrong with them other then I had to find a multi region player for them to work here.

The only way to remove the tracks is to scratch the disc itself.

Hope this helps.

Answer 18

Yes, as long as you wrap them so they are protected from getting scratched. Most DVDs will play with a few scratches on them but why take the chance? Get a cheapo CD/DVD case and put them in it and then pack it in your suitcase.

Have a nice flight! :)
