What +R brands have consistent, GOOD, media codes?

[trimicada]

I've settled on Maxell (MIJ) and Taiyo Yuden for my -R discs, but am still confused on +R.

It looks like there are several brands that use Ricoh, but most of those also use other codes. On top of that, some that are Ricoh say made in Taiwan. Is there any current packaging that is consistently a top +R performer? That isn't CMC or worse? I've seen MCC mentioned as a good media code, but are there any packages you can buy off the shelf and be sure it is MCC?

it's very hard to tell about conssitent because brand names use different companies to actually manufacture the discs for them and this things change all the times... see the post about the Samsung TY dvd+R... it's a real hit... and cheap too..

You mean the NewEgg/Samsung post? I thought that someone reported getting 2-25pks of BeAll instead of a 50pk of Samsung because NewEgg was out of the 50. Still, I'll keep that in mind.

I was at Kmart tonight and they had both Fuji and Sony +R. Both said Made in Taiwan though and I wanted to come back and "research" before buying. I also want to go by my local BJ's club and see what they carry.

The best thing to do would probably be to buy unbranded Taiyo Yuden +R media from someplace like www.rima.com or the like, that way you take no chances.

ppl are still getting TY... just don't order the 25-pack... and yeah, easiest thing would be to just buy TY... but that's more expensive...

MCC produces for other "brands" right? Which brand is consistently MCC or how do I find MCC?

Verbatim Datalifeplus will always be MCC media. Sometimes even plain Datalife is MCC, as the case seems to be these days with the DigitalMovie spindles and the 50 pack spindles of 4x Datalife discs (both +R and -R).
