I believe that these are MAM-E discs. Somewhere, I've heard that 
Kodak is specifying a heavier protection coating, but that should be 
on CDs as the active layer is in the centre of standard DVDs and 
doesn't have the same risk of damage as the exposed reflective layer 
of the CD (right under the printed label).

Are these made by MPO or rebranded from somewhere else? Like MAM-E? 
Does anyone know?
