    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.

  If you have the dvd case, it’s in the back of it, at the bottom somewhere

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

      Huh, if that doesn’t work there are a few websites that will show you info about when the dvd was released

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