| Post subject: Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDS |
I am looking for the above size 8.5 gig, I have not seen any at that size here but I know they are a good quality brand.
I recently purchased some Sony DVD+R DL discs and both burns failed on them and was informed Sony make pretty poor blank media, is there a specific shop here that carries a large range of DL blank media?
Cheers |

Metro is your best choice for media, just remember that the media you can buy here are of lower quality than you're used to from back home! |

I usually by the iMation brand (verbatim). No problems at all.
Well actually I usually use MagicISO or Alcohol and just leave things as .iso / .daa / .dmg's...
But if I do burn stuff, I use the imations.. Good enough and cheap. |

I just bought some Banana brand DVD-R today for RMB58 / 10.
Ritek is decent enough.
Seemed to work ok - I just burnt C&C 3 - Kane edition, which installs, but sadly doesn't run at a nice speed on my P4 3.2Ghz 2G ram / PCI-E graphics card. Tomorrow I go try on the Dual Core box, and see how that runs. Its a bit ridiculous that specs for these games are more than my average pc. Sigh. |
