Then again, I can't imagine why else it's on MovieZyng...

All seasons of Bobby's World were released together, with the option of buying the complete series, when released via Amazon. So basically the same, just the option of buying season separately.

Compatibility - Many older DVD players don't handle DVD-R well, and even more recent DVD players can fail to handle the copy protection (CSS Managed Recording) used by these DVD-R. There are warnings (at Warner Archive) that these DVD-R might not work on computer systems too.

Durability - DVD-R will not last anywhere near as long as a pressed DVD, their lifetime is much more easily effected by handling and the environment (i.e. temperature changes).

Reliability - DVD-R can gradually fail over time, so they might appear to still be working, but certain scenes will start failing or glitches will start occurring over time.

I find importing DVD-R just too risky overall, as I watch via a computer system, and any returns costs can be very high as an international buyer.

I have only heard of that happening for select releases from Warner Archive, any other place (i.e. Amazon on-demand) seems to only offer a random chance of getting pressed discs.
