Hi Everyone, I was wondering what your experience has been with discs from the Warner Archive Collection. I have run by several titles from this series and all of them appear to be DVD-Rs created on demand, which frankly is a concern of mine for playability and lifespan of the discs. Are my

I hesitated at first based on common DVD-R playback issues of players when the Warner Archive first appeared but we have seen those issues pretty much disappear in newer players. So we have said damn the torpedoes. As Jessica said you don't have much choice if you want/need the films. On Thu,

PS at $20 a pop ( less if you wait for regular sales) it is not like you are shelling out big bucks. Michael if you wait for their regular 25% off sales it might be worth paying tax. I would compare the Amazon and WB pricing as it seems Amazon has far less sale pricing these days. On Thu, Apr

I sympathize with the concept but WB is just not set up for that . Would not be worth it to them and your rule costs money in the end as I am sure the savings of ordering from them where stuff is nearly always on a good sale is far more than the tax. It reminds of a situation years ago where a

I'll second Chris's comments. We always preview any DVD-R's ordered for the collection in full before adding them, and to my memory we haven't had a single problem with the Warner Archive titles. We're much more likely to have issues with the expensive educational docs from various vendors.

Hi, just wanted to mention Midwest Tape carries some of the Warner's titles, and also, you can put in a title request with them, if the title you want is not in the database. And since they only sell to libraries, I don't think they charge sales tax. Although I could be totally wrong. Becky
