Having recently purchased a DVD burner and having had a CD burner for

Is there any research that indicates any qualitative differences in
blank CD or DVD media?

Having searched Google already, I was unable to find any sort of
definitive tests on the subject, indeed it seems that it is not
something that any particular attention has been paid.

Hard to agree with the findings there, since of all the brands listed,
the only one I have had a problem with was one of their so called 1st
class media, namely TDK. I used one of the DL's to backup Bridge on
the River Kwai, one of my all time favorite movies, and the disk will
stop in mid scene and restart at another chapter point.

I've used some of each of the other classes listed, including store
brands and had no problems at all. Maybe I've been lucky. Time wil
tell.
