[Request] DVD-R Media

norbert64

any better options than this
dvd-r media
or would this even be viable, as I'm mainly looking for HQ media to do some DVD backups.
Google throws up some pros & cons regarding verbatim & DVD burning but nothing definitive, so I'd appreciate some confirmation.

@ possible sources.
bad xperiences with ebay so that's out.

Any leading electrical retail store would be great, but I'm open to http options, provided I can get a good deal, with the media & P&P. :cool:

cheers in advance

Sure? I just got 100 full-face printables with Ritek G05 dye delivered for £20/€30 from this seller. If you email him first he'll post you two cakes of 50 for the stated £7.50 p&p...

I guess our search engine is on the fritz then, I tried ''DVD'' & didn't get a single hit.

was thinking about
Ritek DVD-R 8X Grade A Full Face Printable from Just Media
http://www.justmedia.ie/dvd-r.htm

although my actual burner is among the list regarding ''Datawrite Grey 16x DVD-R''

@ peckerhead, got burned too many times to go back, even for a possible bargain.

Just Media are opening a new shop in Ballymun Shopping Centre tomorrow at 9:30. They promise bargains. May be worth a look.

if you are any way near a harvey normans they have 8x verbatims +&- for 9.99 at the moment , the postage on that site is a killer
if you have to order online check out
http://mediawrite.ie/
its the same postage no matter how much you order and you normally get next day delivery if you order early in the day
ps the harvey norman verbatim are MIJ made in japan which means thay are TAIYO YUDEN ,ie the best quality media money can buy

Won't allow searches for three characters or less. Try searching for DVD* next time. :-)

Can't take all the credit, saw it as a suggestion in someone's sig

It was my first time ordering from them, and they were excellent from start to finish — prompt reply to my combined shipping query, next-day dispatch w/ confirmation email + positive feedback left for me, follow-up email to check whether they'd arrived — which they had, within a week, excellently packaged.

Up to yourself, of course, but €30 for 100 delivered to your door vs. €38 + a trip to Finglas/Ballymun? Unless you live/work nearby...?

there is also the fact that I don't have paypal or a credit/laser card so a sterling draft will prolly set me back, who knows how much.

@ fitz, how many discs are in the harvey packs? :cool:

25 discs in a pack ,and they are top notch , you will get cheaper discs but if you are looking for a disc that you can read in a few years time these are the ones
