Our DVDs are actually DVD-Rs. If you already know what the difference is then this explanation is redundant. If not, dive into a little technical talk with us.
All modern optical media (CDs, DVDs, Laserdiscs) use pits and lands to represent data. In mass duplicated runs of discs (more than a thousand copies at a time) the machinery creates the pits or holes by physically stamping a series of tiny holes into the disc. The lands are the untouched spaces between the holes. The laser in your player reads these holes and the spaces between them as off and on reflections. The stream of reflections becomes a stream of data: music or video or computer data (spreadsheets, etc.).
With DVD-Rs and CD-Rs, each disc is "manufactured" by using a writing laser to "burn" or darken spots on the disc. Your player's laser is then fooled into thinking it's seeing holes like on the mass duplicated or stamped discs.
You're thinking: so what? Well the so what part of the explanation is that some DVD players won't read DVD-R discs. They're not fooled by dark spots and reject the discs. Most players purchased in the last few years will have no trouble with our DVD-Rs. Please double check that your player is compatible by referring to your owner's manual.
If you have any difficulties with our DVDs we will make sure to replace or refund the DVD or work through any technical challenges that may surface.
