Greetings all -

I have been making demos of Quake 3 arena for many years now and I find that 
after a while, the more the demos are moved/copied/burned onto disks etc, 
the more they degrade!  ie - the score jumps around to impossible degrees, 
the models flicker and turn into bars of green/blue/red or strange anomalies 
appear out of nowhere.  Has anyone else noticed this - is there a way to fix 
it - or are all things doomed this way?
