When I've bought blank DVDs (I'm tempted to put an "in the past" clause here, but it's already implied by the tense; less is more; or not), I've gotten them from Supermedia or Meritline. These places seemed fine enough to me. I got my stuff, and the price was reasonable. However, the most recent 8x DVD+R discs I got from Meritline blow. I can only burn at 2.4x even after upgrading my firmware to the latest release. I'm splurging on some purportedly "good" media that's listed by Plextor as known to burn at 8x - Taiyo Yuden. This time I'm going to rima.com. They have excellent reviews on resellerratings.com. I figure only sketchy outfits peddle sketchy sub-standard media and advertise it as premium. Also, don't buy Great AZO - I can actually see through the disks!
