    How does one find the manufacturing date of the discs?

        If you turn the disc over, you can actually count the rings without needing to cut into it! This lets you skip having to glue the disc back together after checking the age.

        No, it is not. I just scrutinized half a dozen DVD cases with a magnifying glass. They had copyright dates, but no disc manufacturing dates.

        I wonder if the numeric codes printed around the hubs of the discs can be decoded into manufacturing dates.

            Unfortunately, that doesn’t help, since most DVDs in the world were not manufactured in the first production run.
