I purchase a spindle of what were supposed to be Taiyo-Yuden DVD-Rs
discs from the Fellowes website back in December. They also didn't have
the frosted hubs that I've come to expect from Taiyo-Yuden CD-Rs.
Quality scores on the discs that I checked with Nero were okay, but
nowhere near the stellar results of Taiyo-Yuden CD-Rs. P1 errors in
particular were extremely high--over five billion per disc roughly,
though each burned disc would still earn a quality score of 93 to 94.

In comparison, a recent spindle of Maxell DVD-Rs, showing a manufacture
ID of ProDisc, read back with fewer than 500,000 P1 errors per disc.
