Folks :-
I am running out of writeable DVDs so need to get a new batch. I have learnt through bitter experience that cheap is nasty in terms of blank media.
What I am interested in is have there been any tests carried out to check the long term storage capabilities of different brands / manufacturers? I am struggling to find anything online.
Thanks
Kev

I highly recommend BulkPaq.
Ok so they had a few problems at the start, but now they are considered by many to be the best DVDR's for media such as video, games, movies and similar.
£5 for 25, never had any problems with them and I've been through a few thousand over a year or so, plus the dye seems quite stable too.
They used to be bright orange, but they may have changed it to silver recently.
(Note: If you notice....many pirated DVD's you may see about will probably be BulkPaq orange under the label...)0
