I recently did another scout around for better places. I went back to SVP in the end.

That's the kind of monopoly I like!

Cheers Guys

I need them for a DVD recorder. I guess the 4x,8x,16x are all to do with PC drives. Which ones are best for me?

When researching buying a new DVD RW Drive, I came across www.cdfreaks.com

They all seem to be potty about Taiyo Yuden discs as being the very best available across the board.

SVP sell them.

www.cd-rmedia.co.uk are pretty competitive.

Guys,

If I want them for a DVD recorder does it matter whether I go for 4x,8x or 16x?

i dont have a dvd recorder - what does it burn at

i wouldnt of thought it matters. my pioneer drive in my PC burns any speed fine upto 8x

A ritek dye is always a good sign - plus verbatim do good discs.

currently using datawrite Titanium in a spindle tub of 50 done about half so far and no coasters.

It doesn't say but it's not a copier or anything so I guess it only records in real time

General Skanky · 11-08-2005, 6:05 PM

If the disc itself is important then you need the services of http://www.dvdinfopro.com/

A handy prog that will actually tell you who made the disc regardless of the logo.

The tub of 25 DVD-R on Tescos shelves for example, were made by Mitsubishi Chemicals, that when you search around on the web make quite a few others and are of a very good standard.

It's important as naturally, anything you want to keep you really dont want to deteriorate over time. Remember laser rot etc?

keiths · 12-08-2005, 12:24 PM

Was going to recommend www.blankdiscshop.co.uk, but then realised that they are SVP! Always had good results with Ritek discs from them.

the_sanguine · 12-08-2005, 4:10 PM

OK, now another dumb question....

If I record with a +R DVD recorder but don't fill the disc up, can you record on the remaining space later?
