This is going to be a real problem. The denser the information on a disc, the higher the chance of data loss. In terms of video, this means unsightly data corruption, skipping or even freezing.
I still believe High-Definition DVD's should have a protective shell despite the extra cost. This problem of scratches is going to be even worse when cheaper versions of discs are released with inferior surface protective coatings in an attempt to save a few pennies in the highly competitive market.
We can't continue to stuff more bits on a surface that is exposed to the environment without paying a price!
