Blank media sales (updated weekly, daily, hourly)

If they loose quality they will be nothing but ordinary if you ask me... they are super discs atm tho. I'm sure they'll stay MIJ... why would JVC screw with that part? They've been MIJ for years and I'm assuming they plan on keeping the plant in operation.

 

Here's a little something I found with a quick search.

TY now JVC (in USA?)

 

Man, w/all the out-sourceing and everything else going MIT etc... I sure hope so. I even went as far as washing those once w/mild soap etc.. to clean 1 up. Lets see if Joe Ryan or one of the other fellas jump in on this.

 

some more from Emedia

and even more from prweb even has a link to Microboards

 

It's going down the tubes imo. That 1st link said it all. That was the stupidest thing I ever heard business wise. That because it now will say JVC more users will buy/use it? The 2nd link told us everything when they said more versions will be available.

Oh well, like I always say when the end is near or here."We had a good run sweetheart. Thanks for the memories."

 

TY has remained the only major media manufacturer left in Japan. They manufacture discs of the highest quality with the best consistency when compared to all other manufacturers, but that comes at a cost. As a result, they have: 1) avoided the burden of a retail brand (getting into Wal-Mart has killed off more companies than you can imagine!); 2) depended on OEM sales and duplicator sales/distribution to get their products to market; 3) avoided getting into DL manufacturing that is extremely expensive and would be a public relations disaster for them because no esisting drives would recognize their DL MID codes and unhappy customers would attack them for "poor quality" (sound familiar?).

Distribution is the name of the game. TY joins JVC to use their distribution and sales channels to cut costs while still maintaining manufacturing volume. If demand continues to decrease, as it is for all optical media, TY may have to get out of the business or source from someone else, which would be a pity. My guess is that their standards are so high, they would simply get out of the business. They were once a big supplier of a particular U.S. brand for CD-Rs, and this brand placed large initial orders for DVD-R discs in 2000-2001. TY rejected the purchase order so that they could supply Japanese OEM customers, and it's been downhill since.

 

Thanks for dropping by Joe.. I knew you would have something more than what I found on the "web".

 

so keep a look out guys for the TY/JVC media so we can try some out

here is more info also

So they're cutting costs and same great quality? I ignored all the corporate babble, as i didn't want to get more mixed up than after reading the 1st sentence. Bottom line TYs days seem finished. I wonder if Japan will keep the good stuff?

Blu-ray has sunk them in a deep hole, and it's killing them all across the board. That's the hit they took.

I've seen JVC discs in North America for a while now, so I really don't know what that post is talking regarding that, or maybe he's in another part of North America?

Oh well. God Bless Taimerica!. Lol...

 

if anyone gets any JVC media see if it codes out as TY. who's going to be the ginnie pig lol

 

When I get a chance i'll pass by PC Richies. That's where I saw them, and those were also recommended along w/verb 4x or 8x to use w/my Toshiba DVD Recorder/Player. It's freezing now so when I get up there I'll look inside.

If they have any I'll try some out. Even if they don't code out as TYS they might still be pretty decent.

 

I have never seen a JVC disc for sale in any B&M store yet!

 

Nor have I that I remember. lol. So what is the deal with a "recognizable" media source??

 

Yes, PC Richards had the JVC Blanks at 1 time, and i've seen them some place else i think. The ones at Richards that I saw were about 2 years or so ago, and so I doubt they are the ones that they're using for the TYS now.

This is my DVD VIDEO RECORDER.

In the manual it should reference the JVC DVD-RW 4x for recommended use along w/Maxell and Verbatims. Since I purchased it at PC Richards they had the JVC available at that time to the best of my knowledge.

 

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!


All the feedback I took for favoring JVC disks has finally paid off!! I feel a bit better now!!
