Look for issues in discs made from 2006 to 2008.

No, it is not. I just scrutinized half a dozen DVD cases with a magnifying glass. They had copyright dates, but no disc manufacturing dates.

I wonder if the numeric codes printed around the hubs of the discs can be decoded into manufacturing dates.
