I recently bought a DVD season set from Amazon.com and only realized later that it is not pressed DVD but burned on demand by Warner Archive (the archive part being a bit ironic since the season only ended in 2015).

What's the rule on DiscIDs and DiscID-based child profiles?

Can be submitted just like any other TV series child profile.

Well, the rules say the disc needs to be "professionally-produced and sold". While, as with pretty much anything around here, this could be interpreted in different ways, I'd say these Warner Archive-discs are allowed. In any case, they're routinely being contributed into the database.

Disc ID's: there's no specific rule on that for these burned-on-demand discs. Does every copy has it's own disc ID? There doesn't seem to be much point in tracking it in a shared database, then. It gets worse if every copy indeed has it's own disc ID while disc ID-based child profiles are needed...

I honestly do not know how burned DVDs behave in that regard. Maybe every blank has an individual DiscID, or maybe when you burn X DVDs from the same master, they'll get the same ID from the master somehow.

As I said, I honestly do not know.

The information used for disc-id is created during the mastering process, any physical media produced with the same master (ISO file) will have the same disc-id when read by DVDProfiler.

No.  I have many discs from the Warner Archive and there's no reason to treat them any differently than pressed discs.
