Well, to my knowledge, all cheaper dvds in the 10-16/- zone r very local ones... just unprinted blank dvds labelled by a local vendor. Earlier even bigger companies were imitated. Now the trend reduced and only unknown names r labelled so.
I get unprinted blank dvds(which look almost same from both sides) for 10/- @ my area elsewhere. These same ones r labelled by the so-called local vendors and sold for 12/- or above a piece. And well, I've quite a few unlabelled ones. They work well. No problem yet. I use them only for backin up low-risk data like minor documents, harddisk backups, copy-to-friends, experimental dvds & so on. If written @ sub-12x speeds, they also work fine.
The wholesale rate of the known labels like Sony & Imation is 20±2/-(case-less).
Right now, if the price goes below 18/- for a branded dvd, whatever the company, I hesitate. For me, it's either unbranded dvds for 10/- or Imation/Sony dvds for 18/-
