Want to buy DVD+R Discs
 
Where is the cheapest site/place to grab DVD+R discs? I want 25-50 discs.

I come across cheap CD's now and then, but not DVD's, so if someone could please point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

I get mine from Play.com. I usually get the Maxell ones but in -R format. I rarely get any coasters, so I'd recommend them. Price is around £7.50 for 50 or £14 for 100. (No P&P).

25 for £2.99 from Ebuyer although unless you order other stuff with it the delivery would not be free and you would need to pay £2.08

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/191722

Although i just noticed that the site Kymmy gave you charges £3.99 for deliver

svp are good, but P&P can make them expensive so I usually buy blank CDs and DVD from play.

Cheapest from Play is £5 for 25 with free delivery, Ebuyer with delivery works out at £5.07 so almost the same but if you are buying other things from Ebuyer you can get free delivery so discs would be cheaper

I don't think I would trust a backup of my data on cheap DVDs. Probably OK for films.
You get what you pay for!

Yes it is for films.

Thanks all for your replies. I am waiting for more people to reply, and then will choose one. It seems for now the £5 discs from Play.com might be the solution:)

I recommend Verbatim DVD-R format they never failed me when i used to burn my movies to disc but i never burn to disc anymore the future is streaming, unless you're doing it to lend to other people.

Play.com are good for discs but not the cheapest.

If it HAS to be DVD+R then i'd get these for quality. http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/333751...k/Product.html

The last lot I tried were Verbatims and I had errors when burning at x16, - glitches in films etc towards the end, yet with the maxell I've never had that problem at all. Probably just my burner (Optiarc) but it's nothing to do with any player as tried on quite a few and they are the same.

I have never had any problems from cheap DVD's ,just because they are cheap doesn't make them bad, names like Sony can charge more because of their name but to be honest i've had more trouble with Sony disks than cheap ones, if you have a good writer then you should have much of a problem, the days of coasters due to bad disks are long long gone

I think my computer only burns DVD+R. I need to give a copy of a wedding DVD to someone, plus use them for movies ;)

I think delivery is £2.78? Which means for that same product (see below), it seems UKDVDR would be cheaper (inc. Del?) If so, I will go with UKDVDR?

Going through all this to try and save a few pence hardly seems worth the hassle does it. :shrug:
