best recordable media brand

[ste6168]

alright, so the topic title may not be the best, but what is the best brand for recordable media, like DVD-R, DVD+R, CD-R, etc.? In your experience, which is the best brand?

i burn CD's like it's my damn job (actually, it kinda is) and have never had a coaster with well over 500 imation CD's in the past year. i can't find them at best buy anymore but my college bookstore stocks them... that's bout it though

I've always used Fujifilm and Verbatim. Imation has never given me any troubles either, nor has (surprisingly) Memorex.

It's not so much the brand of media but who manufactures it (identified by specific media codes).

Lots of praise for Taiyo Yuden. I've also had good experiences with Maxell and Verbatim. Memorex has made me more coasters than I'd care to count.

They used to always do that for me when it came to CD-Rs, however I have had surprisingly good luck with them when it comes to DVD-Rs. Mind you, they're DVD-Rs I use at work, so I by no means would ever go out and actually pay money for Memorex anything. 😉

I must say anyone using a MacBook Pro. Avoid the Memorex Brand of DVD's.

I bought 100 and 50-60% failed on burning.

Verbatim is pretty top notch. Very few coasters, hundreds upon hundreds of discs burned.
