Blank DVDs

Options
I need to buy some blank DVDs. Have used some from ALDI before but have had a few probs recently with some of them. Can anyone recommend any they use?

Also, looking for something to store 60+ CDs (without cases) in. Quite like the look of this one. Any others out there anyone can recommend?!?

    I use DATAWRITE TITANIUM
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_w_h_?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=datawrite+titanium&x=0&y=0
    Ive had the odd coaster (like 1 in 200 say), but those that have burned have NEVER failed on me yet (Meaning no deterioration)
    Theyre also the only dvds i've tried that have worked on EVERY dvd player ive tried them with
    Ive burned thousands of discs (the dual layers are also the only ones that have worked)

  • I can recommend svp.co.uk. I've been using them for years now and have always had a goo dservice. The prices are cheap too.

    Personally I always use discs that are made with by Taiyo Yuden although they're frequently rebranded and sold under a different name. They can be a little more expensive but I have discs from a long time ago which still work perfectly, more than I can say for some of the cheaper ones I've bought. If you do a search on svp for Taiyo Yuden it should bring up all of them.

    Hope this helps

    It depends what you want them for, if it's for long term storage it's worth buying good quality ones. If it's just to burn stuff to so you can watch it on a DVD player I just get whatever is on offer at Tesco.

    I'd agree that SVP are a very good site
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    i must have bought almost every brand going over the years :)

    sainsburys are currently doing 25 TDK's for something like £6.74

    i know maplins were doing 100 TDK's for £14.99 but i don't know if they still are.

    i'm coming to the end of a 50 pack of TDK +r's and i've probably had 1 coaster in all of those.

    I'd look at your DVD drive manufacturers website to see which brands they recommend for your particular drive.
