Disappearance of Kodak and HP Media

[Fire_Burner]

It is extremely difficult to find CD-RW's made by companies other than Mitsubishi Chemicals Corp. in Singapore or Taiwan, Infodisc (Ritek) now made right here in Australia, and CMC Magnetics Corp. in Taiwan. You'll find that most brands of CD-RW's (Imation, Kodak, etc.) will be made by one of those companies.

Taiyo Yuden Co. Ltd. Japan make only CD-R's, and currently markets their product in Australia as 80-minute That's CD-Rs. They cost about US$0.60 each, with jewel cases, including tax, which makes them extremely competitive when compared to other brands.

Kodak still markets CD-RW's, but they're made in Taiwan by CMC Magnetics in Taiwan, so I suggest using Mitsubishi Chemicals CD-R, marketted here as Verbatim and Mitsubishi Japan CD-RW.

Hope that helps,
