Blank DVDs with decent quality?

[ChefJoe]

I stick with RiDATA from Newegg.... there's other sources for these riteks. My burner is a 4x Pioneer and I just be sure I burn these 8x media at 2x . I figure the deep analysis of DVD Shrink 3.2 takes long enough and dropping the burn speed down helps with avoiding burn errors so :thumbs up:

Verbatim is awesome if you can get them. It might be cheaper, even with the coupon, to buy at www.newegg.com. I'm not sure about best buys prices now.

Mem: I've rarely had bad burns with anything. I'm speaking much more about loss over time in non-ideal environments, as I'm not anal enough to store them well. In fact, giving them cases is about as far as I go. I've had CMC, Prodisc and Princo go bad (and Princo inside of a month in some cases!). Never a MCC or TY. Ritek and Ricoh I haven't had for long enough, and rely purely on places like cdfreaks for good info, as with Acer and Hitachi.

Cerb,I`ve been lucky so far with no such problems,I`ve used quite a lot of different media and have had Prodisc media long enough to detect storage problems with my backed-up data,Ritek is good but I would rate Prodisc equal with them at this time,Taiyo Yuden are the best you can get if money is no object,however you can buy Ritek media( for example) from two different brands and quality can be different for both burning and long term storage of data,too many variables involved.



Bottom line is buy what you are happy with .
