Would anyone like to comment or express an "opinion" on the quality of HP DVD+R 16x made in Taiwan.
If it's CMC MAGM01, then avoid it.
If you don't know how to obtain media codes, you may find the following programs useful:

My CMC Mag M01 media (TDK inkjet printable from Costco) burn and play perfectly, consistently. And they have for years. Burning with Benq 1650/1655 and Lite-On 16A7S Sata burners.
Turns out that "HP DVD+R 16x" are Ritek-R03.
