There is a substantial difference between how finalized pressed discs and finalized burned discs are made. There is no doubt a pressed disc is produced with a kind of technical precision that a burned disc cannot replicate (no pun intended). However actual manufacturing realities can cause...

Honestly 12 releases a week sounds like a lot to me, in this day and age. What a disappointment to see the complete Cheers simply reissued on DVD. The show is complete on Netflix and looks terrific in HD.

That was a low point, yes, but quality Mitsubishi Verbatim (which is still made) is very nearly as good.

The reliability of recordable media depends on the disc brand, burning software, drive quality, burn speed. All of which the customer cannot know or control. So even DVD-R is a question mark long term. However, to be fair, plenty of pressed Warner discs have failed after less than 10 years.
