What are the best blanks to use?

[Chewy]

Not all verbatims are created equal, not all MCC mids have been that good,
some I have scanned were sub-par, they seem to have gotten their act together recently.
TY is the best! but then I don't have any that are 1-2 years old to scan.

I personally use Ritek Blank media. I have burned well over 500 DVDs with less then 5 having problems. Great and cheap media. Just how I like em

Yep! Memorex uses Riteks as well, those are great.
