I noticed that TY does not make their own branded Lightscribe media.

Supermediastore offers

HP
Philips
Verbatim

Any recommendations? Jeez lightscribe stuff is expensive

don't really matter with HP branded media, you most likely are gonna crap...here ya go:

HP DVD-R 4.7GB CMC MAG. AE1 8x (CMC MAG crap, u've been warned)

HP DVD+R 4.7GB CMC MAG.E01 8x (there it is again w/ it's + format)

HP DVD+R 4.7GB CMC MAG.F01 4x (on the slower 4x rated speed, still same consistent crap)

HP DVD+R 4.7GB PHILIPS.C08 8x (good lord, this MIGHT be worse)

HP DVD+R 4.7GB PHILIPS.C16 16x (faster, but not any better)

you get the idea...don't matter WHERE it's made...your chances of getting crappy media is NOT worth the risk...

stick w/ the Verbs for the Lightscribe...

docTY~

Recommended Media:

Taiyo Yuden 4x dvd-r TYGO1/ 8x dvd-r TYGO2/ 8x dvd+r YUDEN000T02/ 16x dvd+r YUDEN000T03
Verbatim 8x dvd+r MCC003
Verbatim dvd+r DL (MKM001)= flawless no compression backups

The verbs at Sam's aren't print to center. They've got the Maxell's for a little less, but they are -R's.

Up here in Canada eh,
the best deal I can find is at Staples. 30 pack of Verbatim LightScribe for just over $50, and are on sale for $10 off.
... So what would that be in American? About $12? lol
