    Agreed, most reliable online company that I have ever used, and I have been using them for years.

    I think the op is looking for DUAL layer (mentioned 8gb, though I may be wrong). I would also add my name to the svp fan club. Personally I would recommend Fortis (about 80p each) or if you've got plenty of cash then Verbatim (quite expensive at about £1.50 each:eek: ). Make sure your dvd recorder firmware is up to date though.
    You can't go wrong with carpet bombing...

    Thanks for the above info as I was looking as well.

    I know this is not the Techie forum but would someone please advise me what the difference is between - & + rewriteable and which I should buy to record to and then play on my home DVD player.
    Thanks

    You just need to find out which type - or + your home DVD is suited to.

    thanks again

    Norman-B,

    Briefly, they're rival "standards", in that they were developed by competing manufacturers (I think).

    In practice, most DVD players will play both (although check the documentation first, which will say), but to be absolutely sure, use the "-" format, since this is the official format for DVDs. I think pretty much every DVD player will have to be able to play DVD-R.
