Then get the MBIs for sure. Too much variability in the Benq batches.

Are the MBI sold under their own name exactly the same media as those sold under names of ...HP.... Verbaitm.... et al.... ??

^No. The QA varies, AFAIK.

Verbatim>HP=MBI Pro>Edgetec.

But I read that Verbatims are now being sourced from MBI - I dont think all their media but some of it.

I had bad exerience with Edgetec -R media ...... I had some MBI branded -R at same time - the MBI -Rs were much better - but at a higher price.
 
i used edgetecs once and sent them to appo , he said that 4/10 dvds which i sent were spoilt or such with the dye cloudy etc

Yes, but the Verbs are made by MBI using Verbatim stampers and QA technology. I don't think those stampers are used to make MBI's own-brand media.
 
I was at Lamington road this evening and I picked up some Sony +RW 4x media made in Japan for 100/- each .... I am sure now you guys are going to say "I GOT IT FOR 80/-" ...... Aaaaargh......

The price I was quoted for Verbatim +R Dual media was 425/- this was a first price I am sure if I bargained I could have paid 400/- .... but I have no interest in buying media at these prices.

@TechHead - the people at CDFreaks talk a lot against the Verbatim Made In India media - they say it is the worst of the lot. If the stampers are Verbs then I would think the quality should be better. They have even put up pics of the disks which look like what bottle said about the Edgetec disks - "were spoilt or such with the dye cloudy etc". Its embarrising to read the anti India media feeling at CDFreaks and AfterDawn. :( I dont see any of the problems they have with MBI media with the disks I buy locally.

Minor blip. I know, I try standing up for the discs, but there have been too many problems lately. I hope they get their act together..Verbatim are too big a client to alienate.
