Bad Blank DVD's

Post by bubba »

Well about month or so back I bought a 100 spindle of Imation DVD+r's, well now I'm 3/4's the way through the spindle and this is the 5th disk I have found in the spindle like this in the last week.

It looks to be a bad spot in the sub straight of the disk and they have all been in the last 10 or disks in the spindle. Has any one ran into this before?

I've had bad CDR's like that before, but just blamed it on the fact that they were cheap.

I had bad luck with Imation DVD's and CD's.
I'm to the point if it's not Sony, Verbatim or Maxell I wont buy them!
