hey

i recently bought a 25pack of Precision Digital 8X DVD+R media. They were pretty cheap.. less than $10CAD. When i inspected the actual dvds they didn't look very good. they all had some sort of flaw in the exact same spot. i've burned like 3 of them so far and no problems. I just want to know if i should keep buying this brand or should i avoid it. the code is SDV20T

thx for the help
