They are generic CompUSA brand DVD-R's. I didn't buy them but I heard from someone on Anandtech that they were just generics.

There's over 7 different manufacturers of 'generic' DVD-R discs, all with various quality outputs, so a manufacturer id would be real handy.

Well if those are generics then it doesn't sound like much of a deal to me :(

Gooki is right.... I have had no complaints about the "generic" Sonys that I got at PCClub.... just b/c they're Generic donesn't mean they're not worth it. Just as markrb said, some ADVDINFO would be nice please.

ADVDINFO is found where? only thing i see is numbers on the inner ring.

I used to use these before I found Ritek. I could never get them to burn at 2x, but they worked in everything I tried them in at 1x (except PS2)

[Toona]

CompUSA just had another sale on these and I picked some up anbody have anymore info on them. Any long term problems? just curious

[gooki]

LD01 = Lead Data Generation 01. Used to sell for as little as $0.70 each a few months back at various online stores.
