I don't mean to interject into a private quarrel. To make a point of fact, true Mitsubishi-made Verbatim discs (MCC MIDs) are now hard to find, and almost always carry a premium price, typically under the product line name DataLifePlus. The bulk of the Verbatim brand DVDs is now manufactured by others than Mitsubishi, even though Verbatim is a Mitsubishi brand. Non-MCC discs are definitely lower quality, and typically don't use the high-quality AZO dyes used by the true Mitsu manufacture.
This digitalFAQ thread discusses the difficulty of finding MCC MID discs.
So I'd say it is true to say that Verbatim quality is lower for non-premium DVD blank discs.
