Well, this might be decent competition for Maxell Broadcast Quality

Taiyo Yuden's That's Triple Guard

 

I wonder what the cost will be.

 

Only -R according to that article.

 

Not cheap . . .

 

:doh:

 

Who knows? I could be wrong, but adding a hard coating has to increase production costs . . .

 

Has anyone ever seen or touched a Maxell Broadcast Quality DVD?
Or know the price per unit.

I have been burning with my new "Taiyo Yuden Premium DVD-R 8x Silver Thermal Lacquer" discs for 3 weeks now [burning at 4x]. They play really great. I mean it. They even feel a tad thicker. [probably my imagination....but I feel it....really]

I'm very interested it what this new Taiyo Yuden media will be like.
And very interested in what the heck a Maxell Broadcast Quality disc looks like.

 

Yes. Visit here

 

$6.76 for three disks (without shipping) -or- $2.26 per disk. That is for the Maxells.

 

Would the disc's be gold coated? [burning surface]

 

The reflective layer appears to be yellow/gold, but Maxell's marketing literature doesn't specify this.
