What’s the best blank media for dvd recording on the market?

Taiyo Yuden are the best, but hard to find in "brick and mortar" stores. I understand that JVC-branded DVD-Rs are made by Taiyo Yuden, so you may be able to find them that way.

The main brand I have used regularly for both work and home are Verbatim, which are excellent. Also, I know a videographer who only uses Sony blank discs.

I would say Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim and Sony are the best 3 brands, in that order.

Memorex had a bad rep for their audio tapes, but their discs seem to be ok (I involuntarily switched to Memorex for convenience when Sam’s Club switched to them from Verbatim, but I think I’ll order some Taiyo Yuden online soon to make sure my discs play on everyone’s players).

The worst blank discs I have ever used are some I bought really cheap (cheap, not inexpensive, best describes them): Princo. Avoid them like the plague or worse — more coasters than discs!
