I suggest you read a few tests reports for DVD-R/RW media as published
by various computer magazins. You will find that quality varies a lot.
There are many physical, chemical, and production issues to get right
when producing these media.

I won't go into details, and I won't enter a flamewar here. But remember
the media problems that we used to have a couple of years ago when CD-R
recording came up. (I have been working in the CD-R archiving business
since 1994 and have seen a *lot* of coasters.)
