My Star Cops DVDs are dying

eledonecirrhosaI had an idea for a Star Cops fanfic*, so I decided to re-watch the whole series. Last time I did that there was one episode that wouldn't play (In Warm Blood). Now there are two (Little Green Men), plus it won't play the last 5 minutes of This Case to Be Opened in A Million Years, or the last 3 minutes of Other People's Secrets. Sigh. Thank goodness someone's put them up on YouTube. Wish the BBC would re-issue the series.
The other old DVDs I've rewatched recently seem fine. First two seasons of Stargate have nary a glitch. But last time I watched my Edge of Darkness DVDs there was a 5 minute chunk in one episode which wouldn't play. I guess some DVDs were cheap quality and degrade faster?
*the fic is here on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/83486906/chapters/219943146
