Thanks for checking that out 4c! So what I'm getting here is that it really doesn't make a difference; the DVDs should play just fine. Right?

I'm just keeping accurate records for myself at this point. For example, places that do a lot of vining like Phishhook don't have any standards at all. As long as the DVDs play they don't care. Sometimes the vines are sent as data and sometimes as playable DVDs. So I just note it and move on.
