I've seen this HP 2.4X DL +R media here in Egypt for $5 per disc

I wanted to get some for testing but my Benq 1640 can only write them @ 2.4X as MCSE says , so I didn't bother with it .

Hmm... seems CMC can be an alternative to Verbatim DVD+R DL media, given proper firmware support...

I shouldn't say anything 'till I buy a few (but I still have 60 or so MKM001 Verbs left over from that Best Buy .50c/ea blowout) but my local Microcenter has these for 3 for $6.
