I've just got a laptop and wanted to burn some Cd albums onto DVD for the car, is it worth me getting these?

Presuming that I can get some in Bristol.

These discs arent that good for DVD video. Even after burning at 2x speed, my £350 toshiba DVD player is skipping!

Just bought 2 + 2 Free in the bradford store.. Excellent find.. Not advertised in the store but goes through the till okay.

Probably about 20 packs left.

Just tried writing to one on my Plextor drive - failed. Tried another one and it worked. Not a good average so far!

How strange, I've burned approx 40 so far (DVD reproduction, of non Copyrighted material), and all have written fine and played absolutely fine in a £30 Yammada player.

Weird

Try updating the firmware

100% success for me so far - burn no problem and play on all 4 dvd's I've tried. I have a nec 3520a - like somebody mentioned earlier it it may depend on the writer as they do seem particular compatibile with the nec writers

I bought 20 DVD-R's in Tesco last night for £8.

Didn't think that was too bad, event hough I've had my laptop 3 weeks and not actually used the thing let alone burn discs

Not if you only have a CD player in the car. Even though you burn all your CDs onto DVD, it will still bve regarded as a DVD, not a CD when you play it in your CD player.

If you have one of those DVD kits, then I guess you will be OK.
