seconded, sign up to their news letter as they have cheap shipping weekends fairly often.

Don't forget the supermarkets. Last batch of DVD's I bought were Kodak ones on BOGOF in Tesco, they worked out cheaper than Tesco own brand and cheaper than anywhere online. The last time I bought CDs was the same, Sony ones were BOGOF in Tesco.

SVP are good though, especially if you want a particular brand or are looking for Dual Layer discs.

Whatever you do, make sure you get branded ones. Ideally a well known name.

I remember buying a big roll of 100 CDs (not DVDs) from Maplin some years ago. No brand, no labelling.

They were almost transparent and nearly 60% of them developed creeping holes and became unreadable within about 6 months after burning. If you trust data to them you need to be sure they'll be at least nominally reliable.

svp for me too!!

Another vote for svp here, but make sure you don't skimp on price. You get what you pay for when it comes to blank dvd's, Verbatim & Taiyo Yuden are widely accepted to be the best

Hi
The '+' and '-' are different technologies.
Check which type is supported by your DVD writer (or DVD recorder).
Many machines will support both.
:cool:

so it doesn't matter which ones I get?
