When shopping locally for media, these are currently the best media available:
Sony DVD+R (made in Japan) = YUDEN media
Sony DVD+R (made in Taiwan) = SONY media
Sony DVD-R (made in Japan) = TY or SONY media
Fuji DVD+R (made in Japan) = YUDEN media
Fuji DVD-R (made in Japan) = TY media
Verbatim DVD-R (made in Taiwan) = MCC media
Verbatim DVD+R (made in Taiwan) = MCC media
Maxell DVD-R (made in Japan) = MXL media

TDK DVD-R (made in Taiwain) = TDK media
Best Buy, Staples,
Office Depot,
Walmart, Fry's and
OfficeMax are all fine places to pick up some of these discs.
Most of the time these are sold (on sale) in 50-packs for $15-20 apiece. Which is not a bad price, not at all. Just watch your Sunday news ads.
This advice, of course, is mainly for USA and Canada shoppers.
