Which is not a bad thing.
Yeah but they are properly pressed Blu rays. Not BD-R.

That's one of the reasons it's not a bad thing.

But the movie on demand thing is DVD-R, right?

I really don't know I'm just asking. That assumption of mine is the reason the "pressed on demand" thing is not very interesting. It's practically a bootleg copy. So the "Twilight Time" model is at least *ALOT* better then that with an actual pressed disc and artwork (albeit still barebones content).

Well, TT releases are only better for the first 3,000 buyers but yeah, that aside I kind of like the way some studios are starting to farm out the titles they don't want to release themselves.

Yes.

The picture quality on the WB Archive DVD-R's that I have is very good. They claim that their DVD-R's are somehow a much higher quality than the ordinary person's DVD-R....

I've only purchased a few but I havn't been disappointed by any of them. I was actually shocked when I realized that the discs used for "Awkward Season 1" are dual-layered DVDs, not just single layers...

Hopefully when it does occur, they will be of decent quality. It will probably be the only way to get some older or less known titles. I see a new thread has opened up based on comments from Warner Acrhives.
