Some words of advice: Linkyo media is garbage, it's about as bad as Princo or Longten (HK crap). It is Supermediastore's "in house" brand, and they are a lousy company. Your best bet is Taiyo Yuden, or possibly Ritek or Prodisc (both top tier Taiwanese media) purchased from rima.com. Ritek's QC has been slipping lately and Prodisc is only slightly better, but these are the best media from TW. Taiyo Yuden is made in Japan and only costs about $.05 per disc more than their Chinese counterparts. The cost increase is actually misleading, since bad burns and media failure due to dye degradation is almost unheard of. You actually spend less over the long run because the media doesn't fail nearly as often. Not trying to needle you, but I've been through the BS with crappy media and found it's much more cost effective to spend slightly more and get the best bulk media you can. I've recently switched to using TY and won't go back.
