[TaiyoYudenRulez]

I rate Prodisc so high because I have never found a bad disc in all bulk and retail packs I've ever used. They also seem to burn pretty well at high speeds. Their phthalocyanine dye layer seems pretty thick when compared to other phthalocyanine CD-R manufacturers!

Taiyo Yuden make high quality CD-R's wherever you go. They all look the same (with the frosty centres), and they all burn perfectly! (Expect that from Japanese-made CD-R). It wasn't until recently that Ritek made a worthy product. I use TDK CD-R74 which is made by Ritek and have never had a problem with them. It seems that Ritek smooth out the edges of the discs more when they OEM for other companies!

I found out that MMM&M are made in India when I got a 10-pack of BASF/Emtec CD-R74 from my local store. It reads, on the bottom of the retail box: Made in India. When I did a CDRIdentifier test, it came up with MMM&M, Phthalocyanine (Type 6).

Hope that helps!
