How true!
I kept hearing people saying MIJ media are the best, however I would like to add that's generally true to some degree, but the best media is the media your burner likes!
I have a Sony 710A and I've tried 8X Sony+/- (Taiwan), 8X Fuji+ (TY Japan), 8X Verbatim- (Taiwan), 4X Maxell+RW (Taiwan) and 8X Maxell- (Japan) and of these discs the 8X Maxell- (Japan) are the worst ones for my burner even though they are MIJ. You can tell just by looking at the discs themselves, the Maxell MIJ discs were of very poor quality comparing to other makes especially on the edges. With the Verbatim, Fuji and Sony, I've 100% OK burnt rate whereas 8X Maxell- (Japan) is only 80% OK.
