DVD Blank Media

[pedantic]

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

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.

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

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.

The best by far is www.bigpockets.co.uk

They have a massive range of Media and have aded more hardware to their stock, check it out and tell me what you think!

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
