Can I submit a DVD-R General Purpose to a mastering house for duplication?
(From DVDdemystified.com) It’s possible to submit DVD-R(A) and DVD-R(G) discs for replication, with limitations. First, not all replicators will accept submissions on DVD-R. Second, there can be problems with compatibility and data loss when using DVD-R, so it’s best to generate a checksum that the replicator can verify. Third, DVD-R does not directly support CSS, regions, and Macrovision. Support for this is being added to DVD-R(A) with the new cutting master format (CMF), which stores DDP information in the control area, but it will take a while before most authoring software and replicators support CMF.
