Verbatim still manufactures their DataLifePlus series of BD-Rs, and they are excellent. The market otherwise is pretty bleak... Ritek offers nothing that compares to the DLP discs.

Also, side note, Pioneer (once a leading manufacturer of BD burners), no longer makes them. LG is the lone surviving manufacturer I believe.

Yeah, Verbatim still remains... For now.

Oh that's right - I forgot that the drives were slowly going disco too. Bleak indeed.
