Where can I find Yuden or Mitsubishi CDs?

Btw. I heart that the Verbatims DataLife Plus were from Mitsubishi?

They can also be from CMC and Moser bayer, made with license from MCC...

Edit: Typo.

I've got some Verbatim DataLife Plus made in China. Are those any good?
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=304675"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

I also recently bought those and am very impressed: I get consistently 0.2 C1 average (no C2 of course) with my Plextor 716A, which is even better than Taiyo Yuden and practically the best I ever got from any media.

how do you test C1 errors?
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=304806"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

I use Plextools Pro, but it only works with Plextor drives. Which drive do you use for burning? With Lite-On, you could e.g. use k-probe for C1/C2 scanning. Also, burning at 4X is usually not recommended with modern high-speed media, the sweet spot is most likely between 16X-32X. I don't know, but maybe your drive is supported also by Nero CD Speed for error scanning? It is difficult to judge burn quality without C1/C2 scanning, but if the discs can be read at  full speed in a "read transfer test" (can be performed with any drive) from beginning to end, the burn quality is probably OK.

For those in Canada, I've found BlankMedia.ca to be about the best place to consistently find the best media.

I've ordered from them several times and never had a problem and they deliver quickly.

the thing is I don't get any C1 errors at all using Nero CD Speed...not even using my DVD drive even though it can hardly read the CD....so there's surely something wrong. Maybe you're right and my CD burner is too old...

Wherever Verbatim DLP is made, it is manufactured using Mitsubishi technology and according to their strict standards. So it doesn't matter where it is manufactured.

I don't know, but not all TY are of excellent quality. I have this pack of pastel Verbatims certified for 52x and so far, all writers I tried (LITE-ON LTR-52246S, LTR-52327S, SOHR-5238S; Plextor PX-712A, PX-716A; NEC 1300A). After burning, the discs are almost unreadable in any devices, including home stereo systems. I tried burning them at speeds between 16x and 52x but always the same result. The media was produced in Japan and has TY02 as manufacturer ID.

Every manufacturer has bad batches, even Taiyo Yuden. Of course, with quality names like TY and Verbatim, such batches are a lot harder to come by. Why not post a couple PlextTools Pro C1/C2 and Beta/Jitter Test scans of your problem discs, anyway? Use the PX-712A because the PX-716A is not great for CD scanning.

Neither Plextor-branded CDs nor Newegg's listings are good deals. In particular, Plextor media is always horribly overpiced.  Newegg's service is great, but their TY prices are hardly the best. Rima offers better deals (and same service level), though they don't carry Verbatim, unfortunately.

Then your drive is not supported by CD/DVD Speed. It seems that you  cannot figure out what drive you got, or decided to keep the knowledge secret. =)

well, what's so bad about it? Back then it got pretty good ratings...the thing is, I rarely burn CD's...
