Most consistent sales brand for DVD media NOW
Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2006 5:53 pm
Ok, this is a hard one and I know I'm going to get differing opinions.
Up until last spring when Plextor DVD+R 8X / Jewel case / Made in Japan was readily available locally I had a trusted disc I could use.
It worked, never barfed and the quality was consistent (for me) throughout several batches.
Well, those times are now long gone and that disc is no longer available.
In my current testing batch of 15 most common disc types, I've been trying to come across a replacement.
You know, a disc that is consistently good quality and very compatible with firmware of burners.
Under one brand.
No bothering with MID-codes, serials, "Made in Info", dye colours, packaging types, sale brand variations, etc.
Just one brand that I can recommend to my ordinary consumer friends. A sales brand which works for 95% of the cases and works well.
What would be _in your opinion_ such a sales brand (please don't specify a MID or factory, but a sales brand) or one that comes closest?
That is: the safest dvd media brand to buy for an ordinary consumer.
If you want, you can specify/limit your choice by region (i.e. best choice for Noth America / Japan / Europe / etc).
Ladies and Gentlemen, place your bets :)
