    Can someone recommend a good blank dvd-r, with all the differant dyes and that plus new ones on the market I prefer if someone could recommend a disk that they have used with good results. I'll probably be buying from www.svp.co.uk as I'll be buying a good few.

    I have bought the Datawrite Yellow (DVD-R in Tub of 25) from these guys. No problems at all, so far. Went through at least 30 of them so far.

    Posting is a fiver, and I usually got them 2 or 3 days later. They accept most forms of payment. They're located in Cork.

    Yeah, Mediawrite are good with quick delivery. SVP better for large orders. I use Bulkpaq Orange 4x discs which seem to be grand on my NEC 2500. I've burned some at 8x too with no problems.

    Maybe you should try a look at this site:
    http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia

    The most popular according that site is Ritek G04 discs. So keep an eye out for discs with the G04 dye.

    I've had good results with the Datawrite grey tops. Bought them after getting a recommendation (overclockers.co.uk forums) that they'd work well with my burner (NEC-3520) which I bought at the same time. Rated 2x to 8x. No complaints, no errors whatever and work perfectly on my philips dvd player as well. They're generally under a euro more expensive per 25 than the yellow tops. IIRC the yellow tops use a Mitsubishi dye while the greys use a Fuji dye. Not that this difference makes a great deal of difference to me, I just got them because they were recommended for my hardware. Thumbs up from me &c.
