I'm not sure if DVD-Rs are thinner than commercial DVDs, but all DVDs 
are easier to break than a CD because DVDs are made of two very thin 
layers glued together, while CDs are one solid piece.  Sometimes the 
spacers on spindles are one of those layers, and if you have one of 
these you will see how thin and crispy they are.  I have seen DVDs start 
to separate.
