Tesco £1 DVD-R's - any good?

tomos42

Hi all,
Has anyone tried the £1 packs of 5(?) Tesco DVD-R +/-?
Are they any good? I only want a couple for uni projects so they don't have to be top quality, but I don't want any coasters.

Thanks,
Tom

For £1, why don't you try them?

If they work, fine. If they don't, take them back to customer services and ask for a refund.

They were +R discs in packs of 5 and had an 8x speed rating.

Looks a good buy for a few discs. Can buy cheaper in bulk elsewhere though.

Bought a pack of 20 for £3.97 and not a coaster yet :T :T

It's the principle of the thing!
I'll give them a go next time I go shopping.

Hi, I've not tried the DVD-R's from tesco but I did buy some cheap DVD-RW's. Only thing is I didn't look at the speed and they're only 2x. When I tried to burn to them some of my software auotmatically burns at 2.4x so I was getting jumps where the data wasn't getting written. If anyone else gets this problem then you have to write at 1x to get them to burn properly.
