Those are the Cadillac version of write-once media.
You put your last will and testament on those :-)

This is OS media we're making, and after a couple of
years, becomes less valuable. We wouldn't want to
over-spend, to make Microsoft happy.

$0.50 a unit is a good price.

The Gold ones you were looking at, were a bit more than
$2.00 per unit, in my local currency.

Now, the "decoration" on those DVDs Verbatim is selling
for $0.50 a unit, is pretty hard to take. I hate being
reminded that the movie industry thinks every time
I use a DVD, there's a movie on it. I have a ton of
OS discs here, no movie at all. So far, all my DVDs
have a plain finish on them. To label my media, I put
them in slim jewel boxes, and use a marker on the
jewel box. The marker is easy to remove with isopropyl
alcohol, and so the jewel boxes keep getting re-used.

In some cases, the thing your doing, is CD-sized, and
using Imgburn, you can burn CD-sized projects on DVD
media. So you will burn through that half-cakebox pretty
quickly, relatively speaking.

If you really need CDs (like for a music player in an
old vehicle), then you'd "save" them for those sorts
of occasions. As a result, I go through a lot more
DVDs than CDs now.
