[DB83]

I have just realised that one of my dvd-recorders is infected.

It is a Fun(g)ai

Assuming good-faith, i.e., supposing he is not a troll,
then he must have some kind of incurable disease.

Looks like any old forum is getting contaminated by the f-word.

1 What are fungal spores?


2 Fungus spores are everywhere?


3 do not know if spores is the same as the fungus developed disk dvd?

[jagabo]

Fungus in the brain?

[smrpix]

[gamemaniaco]

OMG this is on its 3rd page, 60+ replies, and counting I suppose...

It is like a mini-series.

First you get the promo
Then comes a few episodes
Followed by some spin-offs. Not always related the original.
The rest are just repeats.

Does that mean we can look forward to a DVD box set? Keep it away from moisture and fingerprints.

It's clear from some of those links the OP's first language is not English. He may mean well & genuinely wants to know all and any relationships that exist between DVDs and fungi (and how to either avoid or abet the fungi attacks on DVDs, not clear there). Those who posted replies mean even better and initially went at that, but I doubt OP understands anything being told to him. He may have run the replies through Google translate, which could possible have simply mangled them further and contributed to the even sorrier state of affairs between OP, DVDs (of the CMC magnetics kind), and various types of fungi on offer.

FWIW, on September 12 of 2012 the O.P. was duly banned from the Brazilian forum "Adrenaline":

Uh, yeah.

Hitler was misunderstood.
Ted Bundy just liked the ladies. Who doesn't? Am I right?
Stalin was just trying to make things better for the average Ivan.

That's a pretty rosy scenario there chief, and not a particularly likely one. Think seriously about this - if I told you to shove a hot poker up your rear, and I am NOT, I am just using that as an example, don't you think that at a minimum you'd probably be pretty angry at me for doing that? We've insulted him and he comes back for more. Trust me, his English is not THAT bad. He's either mental or just wasting our time. Take your choice.

Look at the previous posts. When he is told clearly "X. X. Whatever you do, only do X." He says "Y". You can't really misunderstand some of what he was told and computer based translation is not that bad anyway.

1 I do not quite understand, spores and fungi are the same thing? spore is the same as the fungus has developed in the media?


2 spores are everywhere?


3 did not answer what happens if I put a disc with fungus in the drive, the drive it will be contaminated and every dvd disc I put on the drive will be contaminated?

[TimA-C]

Great Maker! Is this thread still going on? He's obviously taking the wee-wee. Just point him back to the early replies in this thread or to Google (other search engines are available!) and let's get on with our lives.

Er . . . just before I go . . . er . . . does anyone know if this DVD fungus is edible? If so, does anyone have any recipes . . . ?

[gamemaniaco]

You are very arrogant because they do not respond to my questions and end the conversation?


if I put a disc with fungus on a dvd drive, this drive will be contaminated by fungi of the disc and any disc I put this drive will be contaminated?

understand nothing of fungi in medias DVD so I ask for help

YES!
Responded > Conversation over.

[julitomg]

gamemaniaco...do you realize that you are asking for all the insults, arrogance and mockery you get here?...unless that´s your intention and you "think" that you are the one making fun of other VH members.
Anyway, useful advise:
Unless you live all by yourself deep in the jungle...shut down your computer for a couple of hours...go to your local high school or University, ask for the biology labs, seek a teacher who does seem to have available free time, buy him/her a cup of coffee and ask the specific questions and doubts you have on the matter, he/she will also help you search for the adequate books in your local library since you seem so interested on this subject. No need to come back here to share your findings.
Good luck

[TimA-C]

Dear OP, on the very slight chance that you are genuine, even you should have realised by now that these concerns of yours are, at worst, so monumentally trivial that you need not waste even one more second worrying about them. Now if you'd asked about DVD Flu . . . well, that's an entirely different story! Luckily you can only get that by having unprotected whoopee with a DVD or Blu-ray player of easy virtue!

[DB83]

Priot to this thread, I was rather fond of Brazil-nuts.

[gonca]

According to his posts on the Brazilian site "Adrenaline" he lives in a room without any windows or fresh air. It is possible he has been banned on two occasions from that site, the reason ---- DISC FUNGUS.
