I like Verbatim cd-r's but most Verbatim dvd-r i have tried were not to good. You can check out the Ritek G04 media or the Taiyo Yuden dvd-r's at www.rima.com. I wont say there cheaper but there definately better media.

ty actually make some verbatim dvd-r did u know that? i use ridisc there the best

[Warlock]

Actually i have noticed there's a big difference in 'Verbatim' brand media especially cd-r. There regular cd-r's suck yet 'data life plus' is probably the best there is. There dvd-r work great for movie's but suck on larger PS2 games that get burned all the way out to the edge. Its also very common for media companys like Verbatim to buy from different media Manufacturers then apply there own label. The quality depends on the type of dye used.

Depends where you are what type your buying. Svp.co.uk have 3 different dye types for verbatim i personally go for the ty ones there better, i think i should just buy there unbranded ty dvds cost hell lot less. ive seen some on some site called "budget" and they seem to have ty dye but i donno if its worth the risk with a title of that it just looks cheap!

How are TY CD-Rs?

[spratster]

i use ridisc and arita with both G04 and G05 dye ,,,,,,, sweet.

ive never used ty cds. To be honest it doesnt matter what brand cd-rs i get i usually just go to any old store and grab a pack of respectable ones like verbatim or memrex or something like that. Dvd its another matter there way too expensive for what they are.
