Taiyo Yuden's thee numero uno! Virtually no coasters, smooth burn, excellent playback! But be sure to get real/authentic Taiyo, there are fakes out there. Download the free DVD Identifier and/or VSO Inspector. Disc Media ID should be TYG02 or the like. And if you don't have a hi-tech writer, I recommend 8x discs which will burn a little slower, but much smoother. I buy the 100 pack silver thermal since I don't have a disc printer. I use full-faced labels which work great for me.
