    I live in India, where only few CD-R are available, and most of them are reported as bad on net. But since i dont have choice i have to choose among them.

    would you please help me which one is known to be better among these so called craps!

    1) Sony supremas (made by Sony Corp.)
    2) Moser Baer Protection Plus (made by Moser Baer)
    3) Samsung Pleomax (made by ProDisc)
    4) Frontech Plus (made by Plasmon)

    my questions are

    -> which one should I pick among above?

    -> BTW, only sometimes I get Maxell (made by Acer) and Imation (made by CMC) but not frequent stock. and they are double the price. so in that case should i buy them if there's stock available?

    -> is ProDisc any good? and what about Acer? or Plasmon?

    NOTE
    ====
    Moser Baer Protection Plus in India is different than those being exported out of country

    PLease Plaease help me out!

    've just had some tests with Nero CD-DVD Speed tools.
    On some moserber pro and sony, there were 0 C2 errors at highest speed!
    (LG 32x10x40x writer)
    on moserbaer, these were frequent.
    it's quite surprizing because of the opinion found on most sites.
    but i think, as moser baer pro+ is only made for india, they might have made good quality.
    (note: these CDs were burnt before 1 year)

    LG
    is it good one?
    or is it moser baer which is showing low errors?

    i think sony would be the best way to go, sony has been a good company for there disks and i find them very trust worthy, although there rootkit crap that makes it hard for you to copy there disks are gay. do they even have those disks with rootkit anymore>? btw burning slow is better.

    but the sticky post says Sony is of varying quality! not always good!
    how about ProDisc? is it any good than others?
