Yes, it is very interesting. I didn't know that dvd+r was more reliable 
than dvd-r, for instance.

It says that the best are made by 'Taiyo Yuden', a name I didn't even 
know about, but might be sold by verbatim. Hum! I have a box of verbatim 
that I can not even burn!

I have also learnt about "http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm"; 
where there is a list of "Media IDs", so that I can who is the real 
manufacturer, classified by quality.

Let me see what I have.

* TDK:          CMC MAG/M01  - CMC Magnetics (Taiwan)       --> 3rd class.
* Memorex:      RICOHJPN/R03 - Ricoh, Ritek (Taiwan, Japan) --> 2nd class.
* Verbatim 16x: MCC/004      - Mitsubishi Chemicals,        --> 1st class.
  (data life plus)             Mitsubishi-Kagaku Media,
  advnzd AZO+                  Verbatim
                               (Singapore, Taiwan, India)

So it seems the best I can get, the Verbatim, I can not use because they 
fail with my LG burner! :-/

Maybe I'll have to test more media...
