My co-workers recently ordered some Taiyo Yudens from meritline.com, but when they arrived, the discs were wrapped in packaging that said “Value DVD-R” on a big sticker on the side.
The discs do have the GG0000xx serial number, as well as an etching in the inner plastic ring of the disc, but they have weird air bubbles in the plastic as well that TY’s usually don’t have.
We’re burning one right now, so we’ll see how that goes. Any opinions on if these are fake or not?
