I’m not sure you can tell by looking at the burned surface whether a CD/DVD is stamped or done as a DVR. I have read that a DVR may not last as long if you want archival storage over decades (something about the pits degrading such that the reader can’t tell it from a land), but I’m more worried about there being a player available than I am about the digital media working. Burning in-house DVRs sounds like a fine solution for PG Music here, where we just read and transfer the data once.
