No idea, but you've probably got more chance with a decent Taiyo Yuden disc than anything else?
Probably the bigger question is why you want to put anything on to DVD? I don't mean that in a cocky way, and there probably are still viable reasons to do it. I'd probably go for some new AZO Verbatims if I really did want to be ultra-cautious, but I don't know what you're planning to use them for.
Totally unrelated, but their cassette tapes (well,
That's in the UK) are still considered amongst the very finest ever made, I still have a few boxes of fresh TY tapes and use them infrequently, but they're as good as they were the day they left Japan. I know their optical media was considered to be very good, but I've never used it, nor do I know what state the company was in around 2011. Interestingly they were the first premium manufacturer to ditch cassette tapes, they saw the writing on the wall by the mid-1990s.....
