Went to OfficeMax today because they have Verbatim DVD Media 100 PK on sale for $14.99 today and tomorrow. Had a $10 off $50 coupon so I brought 4 spindles. Got 'em home and found out they were CMC MAG. AM3! Not a big deal for me as I use them often enough to know how to burn them well, but now we know...!

Everyone here knew this long ago, well, almost everyone
There are quite a few threads about it.
This is why i stopped going to officemax for them and buy them online from newegg for as cheap as $17.00 with free shipping.

Well these are CMC MAG. AM3, not just CMC MAG M01 as previously reported. I added it to the list of DVD media. Still worth it to me for $12.49 a hundred.

I'm having issues with them,plus newegg is selling Verbatim made in India too
just buy TY on line when it's $19.99 free shipping.issue solved -
been that way for over a year now...i dont mind the am3's so much but i got a batch of memorex CMC MAG M01 as backup stuff the other day and they were not good on some burners i have and only good on 1. If u need cheap stuff that does pretty good, look for TDK's with the "made by imation" on the side..they're usually RITEK f16's...i've been using them for over a year and they do fantastic. scans are great.

Verbatim Life Series DVD-R Spindle - Oh no, CMC!
LOL!![/QUOTE]
Yeah, it does, based on other replys. AM3 seems to produce better results than M01, and that does matter to some... -
Buy better made quality media and it won't matter, because it will just be good!!
Well this crap is slightly better than this crap so.....
LOL!!
If it's worth putting on disc, then it's worth putting on good disc's otherwise why bother..... -

Wow, you are WAY OFF "dude". What double talking is being done? I am backtracking NOTHING! This is a forum, to share information. If I had seen in the other TWO threads where the CMC information was given, then I would have added the reply there...but I guess you genuinely think your reply is helpful too...

Around here CMC=crap. It does not matter if it is AM3, M01 or something else. If you think differently that is your opinion, but I just avoid CMC altogether. It's just too easy to get good media online to play games about whether AM3 is not too sucky, but M01 blows chunks, etc.

CMC = crappy media company

Interesting, I just bought 10 pc of Verbatim MIT discs on a blowout sale and came across this media code: : MAM4XG02 The discs have gold tops but are in Verbatim wrap. it appears to be the same ID from the now defunct? Kodak discs.That'll teach me to buy from shady stripmall computer stores.

Aren't you still buying Verbs from FS, Source or Staples when they are on sale? At least one of the 3 has them on at any one time. Getting harder to find +Rs though. I think only Staples still carries them. The -Rs are everywhere. +R double layer are everywhere as well but hardly ever go on sale anymore. I tend to just rip the discs to my 2TB drive and play the ISOs on the WDTV live since that plays them just fine. No need to even burn discs anymore it's getting to be...
