Verbatim code

I just receive a 100pack of Verbatim, writable DvD-r 16x fom Meritline reads out as CMC MAG AM3 , never saw a Verbie with that designation, I know I had some HP's in the past had the same code, what the hell is with this? Verbatim going on the cheap?

 

Hi

This may come as a surprise to you, but brand is not the only factor in CDs and DVDs. The code you see is likely the media quality code, and is NOT brand-specific.

Here's one link that will steer you in a direction toward ensuring you purchase good quality blank optical disks:

Here is a FAQ about blank CD/DVD media as well, that might help you educate yourself on it further:
