Thread: Media: DVD-R for backups, not DVD+R.

ok nvm those arent in stock so im gonna have to go with 100 verb -r 16x for $60....

Wise choice ... happy burning :-)

+r's work fine if you set the book type to dvd-rom. In my burning I've came to the conclusion atleast for me that sony dvd-/+ r and verbatim +/- r work very well. I've even had 80% success rate with hp -r's. I'd really like to try Taiyo-Yuden and even soem of the Ri-Data discs for backups but haven't found a resasonable price yet. Also MBI (Memorex brnaded discs) are very picky depending on your burner's firmware. I always seem to ahve no luck with them.

Thanks for the replies here,

This is exactly what I was after.

Now one more questions though, the brand Vertamin seems to have a couple of types in their range that are DVD-R... so is there a specific product that is good or are they all good.

Thanks.

I just bought memorex for 15 (50pack). I go to school in the sticks and there isnt much for choice, it was that or Maxel or something like that..

Realistically how are the memorex?

THanks.

From what I have read; 1st: in regards to the Wii, if you use the Verbatim -R then the Wii has to work less, so last longer without hitches. 2nd: memorex are most probably an average disc.

Thanks, I think I am going to stick with the Memorex for now (as in for one game disc), just to see if this works out for me, and than when I leave the sticks I will pick up some good verbatims.
