So the Taiyo Yuden range of high quality media looks set to be manufactured by Taiwanese company CMC Magnetics. The Japanese optical disc manufacturer recently announced it would stop production of ALL optical media from December 2015. That would certainly have been dissapointing for the huge customer base that relies on these high quality discs for their duplication purposes. We will wait and see how the quality stacks up as CMC tries to monetise their acquisition.

Taiwan-based blank optical disc maker CMC Magnetics on September 21 signed with Japan-based Taiyo Yuden for the latter’s licensing of technologies, patents, media IDs and trademarks concerning high value-added CD-R, DVD-R and DVD+R blank optical discs, according to CMC.
As Taiyo Yuden focuses production of high-quality and high-reliability blank optical discs, CMC hopes to use the licensing to produce high-performance and high-reliability optical discs for professional use, with the production to begin at the end of 2015, the company said. This will increase CMC’s status in the global optical disc market, the company indicated.
Taiyo Yuden in June 2015 announced that it and its wholly owned subsidiary Victor Advanced Media will entirely stop production and marketing of recording media products in December 2015.
