@ shape,
FujiFilm and TDK like most retailers of CD/DVD media do not actually manufacture the CD/DVD themselves that they market. They purchase the CD/DVD media in mass bulk purchases from various large CD/DVD media manufactures and then they package the media in packages with their brand name stamped on the package. Sometimes they contract with quality media manufactures and sometimes they don’t.
In many circles Taiyo Yuden (TY) CD/DVD media is considered top of the line high quality media. Usually the FujiFilm CD/DVD media, which has Made In Japan stamped on the package, is Taiyo Yuden manufactured media. Avoid purchasing CD/DVD media manufacture in any other country other than Made In Japan because the quality of the media is unknown and should be considered suspect.
Rima.Com (http://www.rima.com) is a known reliable source of Taiyo Yuden (TY) CD/DVD media and their prices are reasonable. To avoid the problem associated with cheap substandard media only purchase top of the line high quality media, which only coast a few cents more than the cheap substandard media.
