Does Stubbing Your Foot On A DVD Disrupt The Contents ?
I hope I chose a close category for my answer. There is no category for this question of mine pertaining to asking about the physical well being of CD's & DVD's when it comes to physical accidents occurring to them.
I had someone over my place to check the furnace in my livingroom. I also had my DVD wallets , the vinyl kind that
holds like 300 plus DVD's as well as CD's that were also in the same location that hod as much , if not more. Because my CD & DVD bags were on the floor close to walking areas , I asked the maintenance man , who I believe may have stubbed his toe on my CD's & or DVD's, but he said he "didn't feel anything." I am wondering if there is no physically seen damage to the disc such as any scratches or any breakage to the disc or cracks , can someone stubbing their toe on a CD bag where maybe a DVD or CD may have been collided with , can that effect the music or the DVD movie such as images. I was just wondering & worried to ask this question. I feel like because I don't know if this did or didn't stub his toe or feet onto my CD & or DVD bags , I feel as though I have to replace all my of DVD's & CD's just to be on the safe side. Kinda' extreme , but I don't know if the guy is lying or if he said yes , that he would feel like he owes me thousands of dollars worth of replaced CD's & DVD's. If I were to merely gently to moderately stub my toe upon the side of or onto a DVD , is there anyway it can make the video skip or have odd visual or audio problems ? I am wondering if there are no breakages or damage to the disc & everything looks fine visually that maybe my CD's & or DVD's were strong enough to handle the impact. It's not like it was a strong kick to them. It may have been a slight to normal nudge or stub of a toe to my DVD's. Not a huge kick to them.
Besides , the DVD's & CD's were not physically openly exposed. They were in huge vinyl made zip around hundreds of holding DVD & CD bags made by Case Logic. Can a small nudge or stub of a toe damage the performance of a DVD or CD even if there is no visual damage seen on the discs & the CD's & DVD's appear to look just fine & unscathed & undamaged ? This guy telling me he didn't feel anything doesn't do it for me especially when he is kneeling down to help with the wall heater where he is tending to the bottom portion where the pilot light & controls are. If no outer physical damage is evident , Can DVD's especially have any signs of when played that there are going to be video related problems or are DVD's & CD's pretty durable to withstand minor to moderate stubs & bumps to them ? Again , I am saying that only the slightest to normal stub of a toe to the bag was possibly done. The maintenance man doesn't know if he did or didn't , I didn't see him stub his toe & h won't own up to it anyways in case he is lying , doesn't really want to tell me the truth or truly doesn't remember. I don't know which. Maybe he didn't feel anything when it came to stubbing his toe because he could have dismissed it as something else he could have felt when stubbing his toe on them , but mistaken it for moving his foot & touching something else that he may have thought in his mind to not consider it being a toe stub of anything or any kind.
Please help me. I need to know whether my CD's & DVD's are just fine when a minor to moderate toe stub took place. If I see not physical damage to the discs & they look fine , does that mean that the DVD's will be fine video & audio-wise too even if they were stubbed by a foot or feet ?
Thank you everyone. I will be watching for my answers from you constantly like a hawk.

Your disc's are fine, unless you see physical damage like a crack or a deep scratch.

You have nothing to worry about. The only way that a disk will not work is if it is really scratched or you see cracks in the disk. Also I would suggest putting your DVD Case up on a shelf so this does not happen again.
