Advice please on DVD media

Hi Guys
I'm in the process of buying a Toshiba DVD set top recorder and was wondering what DVD-r media folk use that they find to be reliable?
Also any links on where to find such media would be a great help as well

Cheers
Panic

Best places are:

http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk/acata...LICK_HERE.html

and

http://www.digitalpromo.co.uk/

It's been covered pretty extensively in the past, Just do a search on here from dvd-r and you'll get a whole plethora of opinions.

Yeah, stuck it on ebay. Only lost about £60 on it from new, I'm constantly amazed at the prices people pay for things on there!

I find verbatim to be the most reliable media. Cost's a little bit more but worth it in my oppinion.
