Yeah they are veryt hard to get.
Luckily here in Norway they are found as Verbatim Datalifeplus, sold in 5 packs with jewel case. Look at the back of the box. If it says "Made in Japan" then it's TY. Guess if I stocked up while these were on sale not long ago
Also plextor branded DVD+R discs is made by TY.
Here in Norway TDK 4X DVD-R states made in Japan and is made by TY as well.
Don't know which stores that have these in the UK though.__________________

In my pioneer 106: YES
In the plextor 708A: Average
In an LG GSA-4040B: YES
Don't know why discs written by the plex have higher average error amount than from the other two......strange since plextor discs is made by TY

Unbranded UK TY here
http://www.cdr-by-mail.co.uk/acatalo...nal_CDR_6.html
I buy all my TY CDRs from here and can recommend.
It's getting harder to find these in stock anywhere - shame as they are excellent disks.
You can also try River Pro (do a search in google), but their disks aren't well packaged in transit, so ask them to put them into a box, before they give them to the courier!__________________

sorry thought you were talking about CD-Rs
anyway, try these guys for TY DVD-Rs - I don't use TY as they're DAMN expensive, but good luck
The note about their shipping still applies though...

are those TY!?
they are verbatim datalifeplus!
im thinking about buying a spindle... but the reason i would think they are not is how low the price is.... because before i found these the lowest price was $4.99 US
and that does not include S&H
anyone tried any of that other media meritline sells?
optodisc?
digital matrix?
meritline?
beall?
this is what the page says about beall
"LONG DATA LIFESPAN
Used by several government organizations like NASA, SEC, FAA etc due to dependable, no-compromise level of quality. "
i have not heard of any of these brands and fear that they are all renamed ricoh manufactured media... - Posted:

Most likely not TY.
The only verbatim TY's I've seen is is sold in 5 packs with jewel cases.
Optodisc is not that bad compared to the price...also depends on writer.
BeALL is rumoured to be pretty good discs, not personally tested though, but I'll get some later when my dealer gets them in stock. (sold under samsung BeALL brand).__________________
