Traxdata is most of the time RICOHJPN-D01-67. Google that and be ready to see the most horrific scans of DL media in the last few years. If you're lucky you may get one of the newer Ritek dyes. They're better then Ricoh but crap anyway.
If you're from germany or understand german you can order at edmedia.de. They sell 5 pack of Verb DVD+R DL 8x for 12.61€ and if you search around you'll find a 5€ rebate code somewhere.

Remember you may pay a little bit more now but if you use cheap media you'll get a lot of lockups and you will need to replace your laser sooner than later.

EDIT:

If you want to order at least 100 discs I can tell you numerous shops that sell genuine Taiyo Yuden (TYG03 series) for 2,60€ per disc.

As far as I know TY doesn't have any dual layers on the market... wish they did though, TY makes some great -R's.

BTW: TYG03 = 16x dvd-r (not dual layer)
edit:
also, if you are paying more than $0.50USD per disk (after shipping) on TYG03 in 100pc cakeboxes, you are getting seriously gypped

Yup, Taiyo Yuden only applies to single layer discs. They make DL DVD-R but due to the format and the lack of general availability unless you live in the orient, they are not a really viable option. Incidentally folks over in Europe pay a premium for electronics. . .period. Hence the reason why they are so spendy. I actually had a small scale import business where I would buy them here on sale and then sell them over there and I would save them money and make a profit all at the same time. That was until all of the sales pretty much dried up though.

I would love to get some MIS discs at the current futureshop sale but I don't live in Canada.

Just got back from a Best Buy in Burbank CA and every pack of DVD+R DL they had was Made in Singapore. They had a pack of 5 in jewel cases for $10, 15 spindle for $40, and 20 spindle for $50. They were all purple color scheme.

Interestingly, the 5 pack were 10x, which I had not seen previously. I ended up getting the 20 spindle. On top and on the discs it says 2.4x but then on the side of the package it says they can go up to 6x. My drive does 2.4/4x and they're burning at 4x with ImgBurn set to AUTO.

Hopefully this will take care of my dirty disc errors with certain games.

Guess it's too late to edit my previous post.

So the MKM-001's I got at Best Buy made a world of difference. The same image I had burned onto RITEK-D01's (several burns just to be sure) and had produced DRE's every 5-10 minutes, ran for an hour and a half with no issue on the Verb. The only reason I stopped then was that I had to go to work but I expect it to continue to work this way.

Seems like load times are a little faster and my drive is definitely not making as much noise when it's accessing the disk. Even better is the fact that I burnt the Verb copy at 4x and it works flawlessly, the Ritek's were limited to 2.4x and were still crappy.

Moral of the story? Stick with MIS, if you can find em.

Also, for the record, I have a BenQ and I burn my backups on a NEC ND3520AW with ImgBurn.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before(i looked but there's 10pages, so i mightave missed it):

Just came back from Bestbuy and they had Verbatim DVD+R DL 8x that were made in India. Had to search through the shelf to find the MIS's.

So just like the 2.4x media....check the labels!

I am located in Connecticut in the United States. Sam's website says they have a 50Pack DL in my area but is there any tips or like better chances liek a type or speed or spindle quantity that will give me better chances to get singapores???

jesterrace777 · « **Reply #143 on:** July 25, 2008, 03:22:00 AM »

8x official should all be MIS (not to be confused with the 2.4x that overspeeds to 6x or 8x).

So the 8x that I saw that said "made in india" are just shipping from there? Seems strange. I didn't buy any, because quite honestly it scared me.

Yeah, wondering the same thing... I bought a 8X pack, but it was written "made in India" on it...

EDIT: Nevermind, they are 2.4x...

Does it really matter that the dvd box says 8x speed, because you are going to be burning it at 2.4x speed. I bought some 8x verbs from best buy and they dont work with my hp dvd640c.

I read about some MIT on CDFreaks. Forget what the final outcome was though...I think they were okay, better than MII but not MIS. I forget though, you should check cdfreaks.

jesterrace777 · « **Reply #148 on:** August 18, 2008, 04:17:00 PM »

You are correct. While virtually all of Verbatim's single layer media is made in Taiwan, their double layer media is all either MII or MIS.
