DVD+R or -R any brands/deals?

[Flibb]

Have been fiddling with my new NEC ND3500 DVD writer (doe +r,-r and dual layer) and am after some media to use in it. Anybody got some recomendations? I am mainly backing up video that I want to play on my dvd player or share with friends so something thats going to be comapatible with a wide range of players. Also if pssible inkjet printable as my printer has a cd tray. I will most probably buy 25-50 at a time on spindles.

Cheers

well i would reccomend the dvd-r format, simple fact are that they are cheaper and from svp they are like £4 for a spindle of 25.

lordofthedeals.co.uk is one of the cheapest as far as i know

bloody hell thay are cheap, 16p each for x4 dvd-r on a 100 pack.

don't buy bulkpaq disks - buy good quality ones.

I've bought a load of the ones with the Fuji dye & Ritek GO4 & get good results with both (from SVP)

ritek are always good quality.btw have you upgraded the firmware on the writer so that you can burn at max speed on any speed media.well worth doing.

Dont mind paying a bit extra as I dont burn that many. Current winner of the flexible friend award is
Ritek DVD+R PRINTABLE 4x (8x) Tub of 25 #17069
Good idea to get these??

I always stick with ritek g04 based discs on my pioneer 4x burner, i've never been let down by them

[Kumagoro]

The ones i bought from lordofthdeals were infiniti... i mostly use them for copying stuff for other people. didnt have any trouble with any of them so far (as far as i can remember)

[GAteKeeper]

Never had a bad ritek G04 - although I do have a non Grade A sold as a Grade A SVP will be hearing from me shortly

well i am currently using maxell dvd+r and they are of very high quality.

why is dvd +r more compatible ? does it work in more dvd players and ps2's etc ?

Its closer to the format of a real DVD-ROM iirc, and has bit setting ability

[Spud1]

yeah ive always used dvd+r for my burning needs, always had too many problems transferring -r to other systems or stand alone players
