    right now I got some SWISSTEC 8X dvd-R. The media id on it is TYG02.

    Seems that I have no errors at this time, one of my buds claims his stand alone player would not play the media very well.

    So its up in the air, what is the best out there??

    Taiyo-Yuden is generally considered the best, especially TYG02 (DVD-R 8x). The DVD+R offerings are generally considered to be the best of that format as well.

    However, I recommend buying TY from supermediastore.com in the future. I suspect the Swisstec you have is using a counterfeit TYG02 code to impersonate TY media.

    Taiyo Tuden are excellent dvdrs.

    Id recommend Verbatims with the TY dye or TYG02/TYG03 media ID.

    Verbatim discs have always been quite good for me.

    Taiyo Uden,
    followed by MIJ Sony (TY coded),
    then Blue Labled MIT TDKs sold at Target.

    no media is the best.......it depends not only on the media but just as much on the dvdburner, the burn and what type of dvd player u have as well


    I bet ur worst burn would play fine in my dvd player
