how good are burnt dvd's?

I have a couple buddys of mine that are burning a bunch of dvd's for there own collection. They are always asking me if i want any or want to borrow them. My question is are they just as good as store bought ones or even dvd's I get from Netflix? Is the audio quality the same? video quality? Is it noticable? If its not recorded the right way, could it hurt my system? Speakers etc? I would just hate to spend all my time and money trying to build the perfect system, only to cheap out in the end. thanks for your help.

It's all 1's and 0's. I can't tell the difference,
especially the audio tracks. A copy of DTS is still
DTS.

Not as good as medium-rare DVD's, the burnt ones just give me heartburn. Medium rare with some A1 steaksauce, forgeddaboutit!!!!!!

Now my non-smartass reply
If done correctly they should be an identical copy of the origional, only difference being the striped down look, which can be overcome by a good printer.

Im sure that not all DVD discs are created equal, and im sure they go for the cheapest quality they can find when burning DVD's however, im sure that the production companys skimp out where possible to increase revenue, so i would say equal.

I like Taiyo-Yudens. Work great for porn and can copy even those extra-sooty DVDs.
