| looking for DVD-R's i was able to download tv shows from a legal known website and wanted to transfer them to a disc. i've been using CD-R's in the past and wanted to use DVD's this time as they store much data. am i right in saying that DVD-R is the equivalent of the CD-R? any sugestions as to what brand or make i need to buy? |

I reccommend memorex, verbatim, tdk and sony- only because I have never had any duffs with these makes, but any well known brand should do the job.

 | Re: looking for DVD-R's Got to agree with Funkstar with the SVP recommendation. Although I use these disc's: PiData Ritek Full-Face Printable 16x DVD-R - SVP Used them for well over 2 years, near enough 1500 of them at work and home and not one has failed on me |
