note there are TWO ways to create a dvd one is with a dvd blank like what you use to create a dvd from your pc this uses a dvd blank that has a layer of ink it that ink is turned into data when the laser strikes it creating what looks to the player like holes.
the other is to make a dvd like you buy in a store its MUCH more durable and reliable specially as you get to dvd9 and bluray. They make a "glass master" and the process of creating the product produces a dvd with lots of actual holes in it to create the binary data on the disk this is the preferred method
even using the best method in q100 you should be looking at no more than a couple of bucks, including the dvd and the case most will even stuff your pre printed inserts into the dvd case so you have a ready to ship product

To produce 30 units at a time creating a glass master is not going to be worth the cost. You can produce say 300 at a time from glass but you won't really be making any profit, especially if anyone demands terms. Net 30 really means "will pay maybe in 90 to 120 if I feel like it".
For I think what Colin is looking for, doing a glass master for small, made to ship orders probably is not going to be worth it.
Right now, it is also important to note that there are companies flooding the market with super cheap catalog so getting into stores is not going to be easy.
His best bet, based on what he is saying, would be to focus on getting cable licensing since then he won't need to run any DVDs at all, imho.
