Yeah, that was what I was thinking. You said it better.

I doubt that they can do the other format, though. They probably rendered
a
master, then had it mass-produced. I would say just go get another DVD
player; he could treat himself, and help the economy. g They are so
cheap
now, it is amazing!

Fortunately, the disc format is independant of the format on which they
mastered the final production. Disc mastering is simply a matter of
deciding which burner (-R or +R) to use. Mass duplication shops simply have
a rack or six of burners that just crank 'em out. I used to work in a
facility that (back in the days of VHS) had 16,000 VCRs on the duplication
floor and this place ran 24/7/360 so they could crank out a hell of a lot of
tapes in pretty short order.

I'd bet it's worth an email or a phone call. You might open their eyes to a
potential "tecno-trap" that they hadn't thought of. Especially since this
was a niche production on a relatively low budget.
