Saw some FujiFilm discs on sale and heard good things about Fuji dics.
Also, are Office Depot DVD discs considered good? They have a pretty nice deal right now.

Can you clarify? The only reason I ask is because I have read on here so many good things about Fuji DVDs (as long as they are the TY made in Japan) and I saw some FujiFilm blank DVD-Rs on sale for 17 dollars for a 30 pack.
I also heard that Best Buy has 20 packs for under 10 bucks, but this is Fuji not FujiFilm.

no offense Glitched, but WTF are you talking about??? Quote:

@phatferd...
the dvd media you see at local stores that are either Fuji or Fujifilm are the EXACT SAME THING...at least for ME locally, all the media that i have purchased thus far are under the "Fujifilm" label..i think MANY people here just say "Fuji" for short, when it IS in actuality "Fujifilm"~ :) and yes, the 8x DVD+R and even the 8x DVD-R are BOTH Taiyo Yuden made, IF AND ONLY IF, you find the "Made In Japan" ones~ , the "made in taiwan" are DEFINITELY NOT Taiyo Yudens~ :)
secondly, the office depot dvds are GOOD quality, assuming that your setup/system likes Ritek manufactured media, on MY setup, i have NO PROBLEMS with Ritek, but as everyone knows, computers/burning processes/setups are ALL different, so what works for ONE, may NOT work for others...the 8x DVD-R RitekG05s work VERY well for ME personally, others complain, but for ME they work great~ :) personally, if getting the 8x DVD+R format, i would get the Fujifilm 8x DVD+R made in japans, being YUDEN000T02 coding, you can't get much better than that~ :)
good luck, hope that clarifies a bit~

sorry Glitched, i STILL have no clue what it is you are saying...
fugi? kodec? are these 2 "brands" just mispelled or are you implying that there are brands by those names?
fuji...and kodak~ anyways, im not trying to argue with you, i just don't know what it is you are saying...
:) no harm done, i just wanted to let phatferd know about the Fujifilm blank DVD media he asked about and the Office Depot ones as well, at least in terms of DVD media, nobody mentioned CDs here :) we ARE in the dvd media forum~

Last week Best Buy was running a sale on Fuji -R/+R. All of the spindles were made in taiwan. I looked at every one of them for the MIJ codes but couldn't find any (went thru about 40 spindles checking each one). I went ahead and bought one spindle of MIT fujis. They coded out as Ritek G05 i believe (am at work so going on memory). They were Riteks but i am not sure if they were G05 or G03 code.I guess the Riteks are ok, but i was looking for MIJ so those same discs would have been genuine Taiyo Yudens. In the Fuji example, the tubs are different on the MIJ. I think they have a grey spindle and the MIT have a black spindle.

Yep! These should code as ritek: Ritek-G05 in the dash 8x and Ritek-R03 in the plus format with the speed rate of 8x. Sweet media. It's a nice sale this week-30 cents each,but a few weeks ago they really had a great sale that was even cheaper-25 cents.
Fuji 8x speed media, There are lots of tys on both formats if you search the spindles carefully for the MADE IN JAPAN.
What format you looking for phatferd?

I tried a pack of the Fuji 8X -R, and they were coded FUJIFILM03. I only burned 2 Discs on an LG GSA-4163B and they had CRC errors throughout. These discs were Made In Taiwan. They were a hell of a deal though.....25 pack for $5.99 Candian!
I took them back and found an old pack of Maxells....100 for $24.99 CAD!

@xtlee - chances are you've got something wrong in your burning setup. it'd be wise to investigate that instead of buying different media..always pays to sort out the underlying cause first...

I don't think so, I've burned almost a thousand discs with almost no coasters and all of a sudden with new media I have problems? I am back to Maxell Ritek discs and they work just fine at any speed. Oh, and yes I am up to date with the firmware etc.
