These are CompUSA branded DVDs, either minus R or plus R, sold in a stack of ten in thin-style CD cases. $7.99 after instant rebate. While 1X sucks, I intend to use them for backing up DirecTivo recordings via direct-to-disk video recording, so speed is not an issue, nor even absolute data integrity to a certain extent. FWIW, I seem to recall that they were made in Taiwan.
