Recently, in Switzerland, I visited a computer supermarket (Media-Markt) and found on the shelves Creation DVD-R Data Storage disks at CHF 4.95 ($3). As this is half the cost of the next-cheapest branded one (Pioneer) in that country, I bought three to try them out. Migros, the biggest supermarket chain, noted for low prices, have a different unknown make for CHF 21.80 ($13.60) each!!! 
Most of the other makes, like Verbatim and Panasonic, retail at about CHF 12-15 each
I've burnt one of the three Creation disks and it is totally glitch-free on both computer and stand-alone. I'll burn the other two in the next few days.
These Creation disks are made in the EU and they have a web-site at here .
Does anyone have any experience, positive or negative, with these disks?
Incidentally, their web site gives a logical answer to the question that has bugged some of us: why should one not use paper labels on DVDs? They say that DVDs become much hotter than CDs when being read and the adhesive may soften sufficiently to cause the labels to lift off. The implication is that the drive could be damaged.
