What's up with everyone quitting production of stuff?
Toshiba - no HD DVD
Pioneer - no plasma
Maxell - no media
Weird...

Welcome to the wonderful world of razor thin profit margins, dirt cheap products from China (low quality control coming with it), Wal-Mart and globalization.
It's the unfortunate consequence of consumers wanting cheap cheap cheap.

Are they going to continue manufacturing their MiniDV tapes??? Those are the only ones that work in my digital video cameras!

Same here. I've had nothing but good luck with their MiniDV tapes, and nothing but bad luck with everything else I've ever tried.

After this is done, maybe I'll start buying Maxell again. I've had allot of problems with their CD-R media.

I thought Maxell quit making their own media a long time ago. Almost none the media brands on the store shelf actually are made by the company on the label, most of them are made by companies whose name never appears on the label. Sometimes people can differentiate who makes the discs with a given label by the country that's made, I think TDK had a couple different grades, made in Japan was Taiyo Yuden, made somewhere else was Ritek.
