TDK media - Good or Bad?
I was wondering what people's general thoughts were on TDK discs. A few (but not many) list TDK as one of their preferred brands of media on their websites. However, most don't. I ask this because Buy.com is currently having a deal on TDK DVD+R DL's and, right now, I'm actually out of DVD9's.

Cool. Good to know some people use them. Buy.com has a 50pk of DVD-DL's on sale for $29.99. Pretty hard to beat a price like that.

Re: TDK media - Good or Bad?
Never had an issue. I usually use Verbatim, but TDK's have always treated me well, too. THeir other forms of media, like miniDV tapes have worked great for me as well.

TDK works fine on my PC but for some reason my laptop refuses to recognize them (both DVD & CD).

Re: TDK media - Good or Bad?
I'm the one who can complain. Lost few dvds before what pissed me off. So I don't use them any longer. Only Verbatims. Of course, shitty burner could be also a reason, but no, it's really good.
TDK's are produced in 3 different places (if I remember well). Your luck depends of from where you'll get them. Ask joujoujou at metfuk. He's sitting in that pretty much. And he knows a lot. Way more than regular people and us.

Re: TDK media - Good or Bad?
I am not a real fan of one of the TDK series.
There where some produced which where not solid, like this version:

But this version is and looks solid:

Others from TDK i don't have experience with.
I use Sony and Verbatim for a long time now.

Touring for two years was more than my body could take.You're there and your head tells you that you have to go on,
but your body is close to giving out. Five to six days a week,
i was on stage for about two and a half hours every night.
Doing that for over two years, my larynx didn't feel great,
it felt like my vocal cords were just falling apart
