I wasn't sure Blu-rays could get scratched. I imagine that the peanut butter thing would still work to fill in the gap. Couldn't make it worse.

I'm lucky enough to have a functioning video rental store in my town with a disc resurfacer. As far as I can tell, they don't use different machines for Blu's, so you should be fine with whatever remedy you go with.

They are more scratch resistant than DVD's, but not impervious to poor handling. It was a used rental disc I got dirt cheap. With all the nasty things I used to see stuck to VHS rentals, I can only imagine what some people do to rental discs.

The video breaks up for a couple seconds about half an hour in. A different player might even blissfully ignore it.

Guess I better buy some peanut butter?
