DVD Blank Media
 
Does anybody know a reliable retailer that sells good quality dvd+rw and dvd-rw blank discs ? I've looked at a few retailers, but it's never easy knowing which ones are good quality. Probably looking at Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden, as they will be used for backups to a dvd drive. I've been told that the stuff from Japan is the best, but retailers never tell you this info :erm:

I've been using DVD+RW ones from Aldi supermarket, can't 100% remember the price, but it is around £3.99 for 5 - no problems with them so far. They are branded Tevion.

Another vote here for svp :tu:

Incidentally, Play.com are doing a 3-for-2 offer on Maxell DVDs at the moment, so you can get 150 for £26 including delivery. I've used these Maxell discs before, and not had any problems with them (unlike the Ritek ones which started failing on me not so long ago :( )

Thanks for the input guys :tu:

I'll look through the sites mentioned.

Incidently, for anyone interested, I found this article on dvd disc quality. I realise there are many sites like this, but it does seem a decent source, and the forums are useful too. :)

If you want the best of the best and dont mind the price then Taiyo Yuden is the way to go product code 3248 and 3262 over 40 quid for 100
