Sony single disc, 2.6 eur. Ok, it's always pricy if bought separately. Let's ignore.
Verbatim 16x DVD+R 5-pack. 6.90 eur. Means 1.38 eur per disc.
Same Verbatim DVDs but in a 10-pack spindle (no jewel cases). 11.90 eur => 1.19 eur per disc.
Same Verbatim but in a huge 100-pack spindle. 103.90 eur => 1.04 eur per disc. It seems that even if you bought a million of them, the 1.00 eur would still be pretty much something you cannot break. Why? Because in that 1.00 eur is 0.60 eur Hyvitysmaksu. That leaves only 0.40 eur. And there's 22% VAT for the final price (that is 22% of 1.00 eur, taxes are also taxed with 22%!). 0.22 eur for VAT. So 1.00 eur - 0.60 eur - 0.22 eur = 0.18 eur per DVD is the price that has to account for retailing, shipping, manufacturing... and also for customs tax and corporate taxes. Ridiculous, isn't it?

Woah. That's pricy. Both Sony and Verbatim discs sold in my country cost about 0.30 USD (taxes included). TDK discs manufactured by Taiyo Yuden costs even less.

I generally use TDK myself, they are way cheap, I picked up 100 for for USD $25 last week (thats 25cents (USD) a piece and I can fit around 30 episodes of a random series on each one, then play it on my TV, lose it, break it, whatever, it doesnt matter becuz they are so cheap)

How come the people who lost the debate because they not only did know nothing about what "codec", "container" and "HD" means but also refused to shut up, now criticize the fact that the there was an in-depth debunking of (their) bullshit going on?
AVI = XviD, MKV = h.264.
MKV = is CPU heavy, not for old computers.
AVI is good quality video, MKV is blocking, stuttering shit.
AVI = SD, MKV = HD.
... anyway, debunked. No need to re-debunk them.

Everything else is BAD!!
WMV rULEzzZZZZ!!!
It'll play on Windows, XboX360 and PS3, NATIVERlyy......
And most importantly, Tokyo Hot HD is streamed using WMV!! Everybody wins!!
Unless you're talking about audio then maybe not as WMP9 Pro Audio is still... you know... but that's another story.
