Any reason why Prodisc ranks so well?
The shop I get my CDR's from are pushing the Smart Buy brand at rather attractive prices and from what I've been able to find out searching on the web, Smart Buy is Prodisc's own brand.
Also, where did you hear that MMMM's made in India? 'cos I've been using those (Emtec brand), but would like to switch brands, since it doesn't seem to be quite so good. I've had a couple of discs with holes on the reflective layer and 1 CD so far where I couldn't extract the data a week or 2 after burning. And recently (didn't use to happen), a lot of them give Power Calibration errors on my Plextor when I try to burn at 12x, so I have to bring it down to 8x.
I also read that Sony is now manufacturing out of Taiwan now, so I'm wondering if it's worth the premium.
One last thing... Would you say that the brands where manufacturers are producing for themselves (e.g. Taiyo Yuden & That's, Prodisc & Smart Buy) tend to have better quality than when the manufacturers produce for other brands?
