Question:
Hi there,
Can people tell me of their experiences, when finding the balance between good value and best quality DVD-R's?
And if you feel it worth paying that little bit extra per disc extra for what are supposedly better quality discs?
So is it Bulkpaq or Verbatim??????
Many thanks
Answers:
Go here and take a look.
They offer all types and explain the best value and best quality and their service is second to none.
Answers:
I have always paid a bit more for Verbatim dvds - I have never had a problem with them. They always burn properly and I have always been able to read them using other dvd drives, which can be a problem with cheaper discs.
Another good brand is Ritek - which are cheaper than Verbatim but still very reliable.
Answers:
Yep, I'd agree. Verbatim have been great for me, they never fail. In the past I've found with cheaper discs I get quite a few fails, and end up no better off than had I bought a branded disc.
Answers:
never had a problem with datawrite grey disks, burned at x8 ( the x8 disks), quite cheap and no failed burns.
it depends what you will be playing the dvds on i guess. may be best to buy a couple different brands and try them out on your dvd player before buying 400 and then finding out your dvd player doesnt like them.
Answers:
Depending on the writer you have, my old writer from 2002 is picky on what discs it writes to. However, the new ones (you can get them for around £30 now) are fine with most discs. I buy 10p discs (from Comp fairs) for stuff I probably wont want in a couple of years and 30p-40p discs for stuff I want to keep for a long time.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply.
Your advice has been a great help.
Many thanks
