I just bought a 50 pack of TDK DVD-R from circuit city they were on sale for 12.99. And guess what they were cmc-mag Am3, i couldnt believe it. 1 to 16x they have a new plastic and the disks are gray.
Their getting returned.

I wonder if I can return these directly to TDK... what do you all think. I bought 2 packs of 50 (I'm an idiot) One is still unopened.

fujifilm do not make there disc they would code out as Taiyo Yuden(if there made in japan) which is very doubtful. or they would code as prodisc which is junk also

You guys are talking about the DVD-R Well, I bought the Sony DVD-R 1-16x 100 Pack, They didn't work either nor did the TDK brand. I have to return the TDK back just like I did with Sony. I use Office Depot brand and they work.
I am that I am

Well im not sure if they good, but i im sure that these are the best media out there to buy
Taiyo Yuden(Online)
Verbatims
Sony(MIJ)
Maxell(MIJ)
Fuji(MIJ)
MIJ=Made in japan
these are the best media u can buy heres a guide, pretty accurate except for the TDK as 1st class media

if there MIT stay away from them they will most likly code out as Prodisc which is junk.
if there MIJ which is very unlikly they will code out as Taiyo Yuden.best media out there.
have you considered buying online
or if your buying in the B&M store stick with Verbatim
