And just where are you getting the "internal quality standards" ?
Is this publicly available information? Or do you have some secrets?
I can't imagine that any media manufacturer would try to produce "crap".
I see it as:
- Each manufacturer may have multiple dye types.
- Each dye composition is better suited to a particular use than others.
- Each dye "batch" is variable from one to the next.
- Firmware writers add support for media by identifying the manufacturer and dye.
- The burn quality is established by the identification and the optimization for that ID.
- Incorrect ID's OR faulty optimizations result in low burn quality or failures.
- Correct ID's with so so optimizations result in adequate burn quality.
- Correct ID's with high optimizations result in high burn quality.
