This media may be made in Japan according to reviews of the UTJ media code in the media list section. I wonder why NewEgg would not capitalize on it being made in Japan, or why I have never heard of this manufacturer before. Very weird. Feedback would be appreciated. -
Sounds Mexican. :P

Just because most Cadillac media is made in Japan, doesn't necessarily mean this is "A1" media....As the past has shown, Japanese products are most common to fakes (TY & Maxell).
But if your willing to try it, please post your findings.
Thanks much -

Somebody should probably risk it and buy some. -
well.. I made some online research and found nothing but good stuff especially on http://forum.cdfreaks.com/index.php? under the media section. So i decided to try them.. I order the 50 pack for 19.99 with free shiping or $0.40 a disk. I will post my experiences as soon as I get them.

well the 50 pack for $19.99 finally arrived.. New egg took forever to proccess and ship them. Each disc is about $0.40. The package is exactly as advertised. The discs are made in Japan. As a mater of fact it says "100% made in Japan" on every disc. The discs were packed with high quality packing inside the spindle. The actual discs look very similar to the dye used by MCC or verbatim discs. Inspection od the dye confirms that the dye is flawless. Here is the media code from DVDinfopro:

I burned 2 of these discs and will burn more tomorow. Because the media code is not supported by my burner these disks burn only at 2x. The quality of the burns are really mid pack. Better than Ritek(old or new), slightly below tawianese MCC. I have never tried prodics.. so don't ask for comparison between them since their price is similar. All the disks are playable but on my 4-5 yr old DVD-ROM on few instances the movie froze for a second.
I think these discs are probably capable of high quality burns if the burner supports them. If not, as in my case, the burn quality are average to above average. I also wonder if 4X discs burnt at 2x will be worse that 4x at 4x? -
