For those who are still burning to blank Blu-ray discs, this is another bit of bad news. One of the better manufacturers has stopped production of BD recordable discs, with virtually no fanfare.

That leaves the true Verbatim discs, the CMC discs sold under the Verbatim brand and the hard to find Panasonic discs as the best blank Blu-ray available.

M-disc is still available too.
For the nth time, with the possible exception of certain Intel processors, I don't have/ever owned anything whose name starts with "i". -
M-Disc is a technology used for recordable optical media, not a brand. Verbatim and Ritek both make M-Disc BD-R media.

I'm aware of that. I just inferred that OP is lamenting production of conventional dye-based BD-R just lost one of its manufacturers (FTI), so he should be assuaged that FWIW, M-disc, which may well be superior to any wretched dye-based optical disc technology from any manufacturer, is here to stay for some more time.

Not everyone is convinced of the outstanding durability claims for the Blu-ray version of M discs, at least, not in comparison to regular HTL BD-R. See here . Their recording layer may not be substantially different from the regular inorganic recording layer of HTL Blu-ray. The DVD M discs seem to be quite different.
Besides, they are not a universal replacement. Neither of my Blu-ray burners can burn M discs. And they were much more expensive the last time I looked at them.Last edited by Kerry56; 2nd Jul 2016 at 11:15.

The recording layer for FTI's BD-R media and the other conventional/"HTL" BD-R media that most here use isn't dye based. It is an inorganic phase change metal alloy.
Only LTH BD-R media is dye based, and nobody here recommends it except for temporary use, like for a video that will be watched just once, or for safety copies handed out to careless children who ruin every disc they are given in a short amount of time.
The other question is, would a company like Ritek make good BD-R M-Disc media since much of their DVD media has been unreliable? There is more to making good optical media than using a stable compound for the recording layer.Last edited by usually_quiet; 2nd Jul 2016 at 12:51.
