What DVD disc do you recommend ???

[Mike]

Hi all

I have had lots of problems buying 'cheap' DVD and then spending hours checking hardware/software when things don't burn or play properly. !!!!

I have a DVD drive in my PC which burns + / - and my DVD player seems to be able to cope with both formats.

SO big question is which DVD discs for general use would people recommend (burning both data and video). Also from which supplier.

Many thanks in advice for your help.

Regards

Mike

Hi Mike,

I use Bulkpaq 4 speed DVD-r. I get them from www.blankdiskshop.co.uk (where I also got my DVD burner)

They are excellent value at about £13.00 for 25, & I have not had an issue with one of the disks.

Hey they're wot I got last week nice one. Only tested one out mind. Put 5 Xvid movies on one and they worked first time on my Yamada DVD player

get discs that use ritek dye they come in various brands and v.higly rated, discs like bulpaq and datawrite etc are ok but can be hit or miss riteks are a few more pence but they are worth it check out the dvd media section at http://www.dvdrhelp.com/

I've never yet had a coaster with Verbatim (both +/-) DataSafe + seem OK but not the - for some reason...Stay well away from Phillips +RW x4 writes (10 for £13.99 at CostCo) they stink!

Another vote for Ritek discs, never had a single coaster.

what writer do u have

i have an NEC2500A and I get and recommend

Datawrite Classic Yellow 4.7gb

http://www.burn-media.co.uk/acatalog/DVD_R.html
Datawrite Yellow Princo 4x - 25 Tub Ref: DVDR007

they are £8.45 for 25

i can testify had no coasters or compatibility problems with my dvd players or ps2.

i did try the datawrite red ones which were slightly cheaper and these didnt work full stop with my writer.

Princo are known to be a cheap disc supplier but these ones work absolutely fine for me. ive ordered over 200 im so confident in them

Just been out and got some of these. Paid £11.25 total. The site you pointed out is £13 with delivery cost added. I think I got a good deal
