Is it worth the 2 bucks?

They want $7.95 to ship them, so def. pick these up at B&M. Nice find OP.

I would not trust Verbatims just by their code. There are CMC and Moser Baer discs using MCC codes as well. The only sign of a real MCC disc is that it is made in Singapore, and I have not seen any of the bulk packs using it.

 

[THRILLHOv]

MCC... do you know if you are more likely to get it on the - or the +?

I just purchased the 50 pack DVD +R and it says, "MCC 004". Whatever that means. Made in Taiwan.

Verbatim/MCC media is made in several different plants using Mitsubishi's chemical formulas and under their supervision. The official claim is that this results in a uniforrm high quality. Reports on Internet forums such as cdfreaks disagree, and say that the manufacturing quality of the disc (which greatly affects its longevity) varies noticeably according to which plant manufactured the disc.

So for example, the Made In Taiwan discs are made at a CMC plant. They might be using Mitsu's dyes and processes, but it's fundamentally the same CMC plant that produces the CMC DVDs - and CMC DVDs are pretty much the bottom of the known brands, right above the names nobody even recognizes. Not surprisingly, the Verbatim MIT discs have the widest variance in quality, and the most defects. Verbatim discs made in Singapore or India are more consistent and more consistently higher quality.

If you are looking for a consistently high quality DVD, buy Taiyo Yuden from a reputable online store.

Verbatim non-MIT would also be a high quality DVD, but are hard to find retail. Verbatim MIT are a crapshoot. I would not buy them thinking you're getting a high quality disc, for important data or archiving. But I would buy them as a cheap disc that's probably a lot better than the other cheap discs. Certainly that would be an appropriate way to think about them at this price. $15 for 50 is a good price for cheap discs.

Also be careful if you have an older DVD burner that does not support 16x burning. The media will probably still work in your drive, but a lot of 16x media does not burn as well (burn quality, and/or longevity) at lower speed - that is, most of it was very much designed for high speed burning and works best that way, and might not work as well burned slower.

heh its not so much the 2 bucks, rather the proximity of BB compared to OM for me...I've learned the hard way in the past that BB is a PITA when it comes to PMs

Bump for the last day. My OM still has 50 disk spindles of the 16X Certified +R for 14.99, and the 16X certified 25 disk spindles for 7.99. The They also had the 16X -R spindles for 7.99 but I didn't see the certified logo on them. This is a great time to use those 10 off 20 or 10 off 30 plastic coupon cards that OM sends people who are registered to get emails from them. I picked up 1- 50 pack and 2 - 25 packs for 21.00 plus tax.

 

[Jpark]

I'm seeing $39.99, guessing the deal is dead?

25 pack Verbatim -R
25 pack verbatim +R
On-Line they are OOS until 12/19. I guess B&M is the way to go now.

 

[aplefka]

Sweet, might head over to my B&M.

I have't gotten a coupon from OM in months, and I am signed up to receive emails from them. I get their "In-Store Offers" email ever darn week and not a single $ off coupon in them.

Just bought some MCC 03RG20 8X -R from Circuit City under their NeXXTech brand 25 pack spindle for $6.99.Just the -R are the MCC.The +R NexxTech show CMC 3rd class but all have burned fine so far in my NEC 2500A burner. These seem to be on sale at this price every other week at CC.
