Are these stamped DVDs or just burned ones? Anyone can download and burn
their own DVDs these days. But burned DVDs are proving notoriously
unreliable. Stamped DVDs (like CDs) are far more reliable. If he's just
selling free data onto burned DVDs it's hardly worth paying anything for
them. Just download and burn 'em yourself.


Why are burned DVD's notoriously unreliable? I know there are problems
with DVD+ and DVD- and people trying to "burn" protected DVD's, but if
it is in the correct format and the orginal is not protected, why are
they having problems? I really have not had any problems with viewing
burned DVD's, is it just because I am lucky?
