verbatim branded dvd-r or verbatim datalifeplus dvd-r?

[deejay.2001]

i just got confused which to buy
sometimes there are good deals on verbatim branded media made in taiwan but do not know if trust them ?

what is exactly difference between verbatim dvd-r branded made in taiwan and verbatim datalifeplus dvd-r made in singapore or japan?

are regular verbatim branded dvd-r made in taiwan any good?
thanks

Datalife Plus (especially the pastel color ones) are the only Verbatims I buy....though only occasionally. I've never been brave enough to purchase the regular ones.

deejay.2001, what part of the world are you in? I know in the US Verbatim has pretty much dropped the Datalifeplus name. You mentioned DLP made in japan, so I'm assuming you're in the European market. That being the case I'd recommend you stick to DLP.

Verbatim is using MCC again for pretty much everything.

thanks guys
i am in florida and all verbatim dvd-r are in bestbuy of course
so they have 2 kinds of verbatim dvd-r on shelfs
1. verbatim branded made in taiwan (no mitsubishi chemical on label)
2. verbatim datalifeplus made in japan (mitsubishi chemical on label)

now there is sale in bestbuy 19.99 for 50 pack which is for verbatim branded made in taiwan.

so should i buy them?

I have never seen DLP made in Japan sold in the US market, that is very interesting. What speed are those discs?

[lordsmurf]

MCC DVD-R is now made in Taiwan.
Same materials, creation equipment, etc.
MCC02RG20 media

i went to sam's club and they had the verbatim dvd-r 4x for 18.99 per 50. And came to this site to check if they are ok ...and as usual the GUYS here are RIGHT ON!
it is what lordsmurf says mcc.
Now is this a GOOD Price?
6 months ago YES ... but now ... for 4x MCC... 18.99 for 50disks
Sam's also had Verbatim dvd -r 8x for 29.99. for 50 disks

Which would you guys get ... I bought 6 packs and only opened one of them ... so if the PRICE sucks ... tell me ...NOW! And I can return the 5 unopened ones!

some of the guys here stay up to date on FAIR PRICES!

[Gen-An]

Take them back. Best Buy has 8x Verbatim 50 packs on sale for $19.99 this week.

[lordsmurf]

$20 for 50 of MCC 4x media is fine.
Same amount of discs.

[rgtaa]

8x at best buy for 19.99 Verbatim's ... that sounds alot better the 4x at 18.99.

Now is that without REBATES on Best BUY 50 for 19.99 8x... is that OUT THE DOOR PRICE!

up till now in this thread people didn't say what speed they had at BEST BUY ... I was thinking 4x ... but i didn't know it was 8x.

Unless the Media code is inferior ... if not... I'll go with 8x!

[rgtaa]

2 hours latter!

Got 6 spindles of 50 of 8x Verbatin MCC code for 19.99 a piece!

Media code/Manufacturer ID MCC 02RG20
Manufacturer Rated Speed 8.0x 11080KBps

Yeah BABY!

Thanks Gen-An and Lordsmurf for the MCC being GRADE A Media and 8x Price of 19.99 for 50!

I'm set for a while!

p.s. Deejay the verbatims i bought were the regular ones without saying M Chemical on Package and they actually are MCC too.

To think I just bought the Verbitum Movie Dvd-r 4x at 14.99 for 25 just 2 months ago ... and NOW 8x 50 for 19.99. COOL!

Does this mean the 16x ones are on the WAY!

[Gen-An]

The 16x Verbatim DVD+Rs are already out in 25 disc spindles for about $25 or so. You're lucky, I went to my local BB and they were completely out of Verbatim 8x media

[deejay.2001]

thanks lordsmurf

as you said i tried and risked 50 packs of verbatim made in TAIWAN 19.99/50pack in bestbuy no rebates after instant rebate
i bought 2packages so 100pieces....
the code is MCC02RG20
kprobe is perfect like tayio yuden....
so tomorrow i am going to buy another 500 pieces...
thanks lordsmurf for help

so anybody is scared of media from taiwan?
verbatim dvd-r from taiwan are MCC....go..and get till they have them...

[lordsmurf]

Sounds like BOTH the "4x" and "8x" are MCC02RG20 media.
