I got some DVD recordings, kind of?

Don't know what to write here, so I'll just write that I bought a loose assortment of DVDs, specifically a set of 30 used DVD-Rs containing TV recordings.

I haven't checked all of them, but I'm pretty sure half of them are recent-ish recordings about the British Royal Family while the other half might be VHS-to-DVD transfers of German television recordings. One of the German recordings I checked contained a partial recording of an episode of Heimatklänge on WDR from I think 2001? Some of the discs won't read, and I'm not sure if it's the discs themselves or my DVD drives having issues.

Will I publish these recordings on the Internet Archive? I'll see if I can do that once I get all of the discs digitized into MKVs. Although I'm not sure if it contains anything that could be considered "lost media".
