Definitely the best quality you can get. I got a couple spindles of some Ricoh DVD-Rs and my Powerbook won't burn them. Cheap DVDs suck. I second Peter’s sentiment about Taiyo Yuden.

In fact I still have 100 of the 200 blank CDs that I bought on Black Friday 2 or 3 years ago, so it might be a while before I get to testing the new DVDs. Oh well, it won't be long before we are carrying terabytes of info around in our phones/pdas/media players/etc. Then we won't need blank discs of any kind.

I discovered this when I was in Shanghai a few years ago. You think there's a lot of cheepo brands here, you'd need days to sift through the number of brands in Asia. After talking to one of the vendors for long enough he spilled the beans that all of the brands that he carries come from one distributor who get their rebranded CD's and DVD's from two different manufacturers. This guy had at least 25 different brands of CDs and DVDs. The cheapest being his own brand, of course. Blake – I’m glad you’re pointing this out.
