I almost always shop at shop4tech. There are several places on-line that give great prices, but they're pretty close in price.

Prodiscs are accepted by most traders, so I use those.

Taiyo Yuden are also highly accepted (really cheap!), but I can't burn them or burn onto them. ymmv

If you have a Staples nearby, go by and see if they have any of the "Made in Japan" Fuji DVD-R/+R's. The MIJ media is actual TY media, the best media out there. There's a current sale going on for $9.94 for 30 - just about 33 cents a piece. It's 1x-8x media. Just don't buy it if it's Made in Taiwan.

Their Taiwan discs are made by Prodisc, and there's nothing wrong with those.

Jen,

The Taiyo Yuden won't work with your DVR?? (I think we have the same machine)
I'm lucky I didn't place an order for these then if that's true.

But you can read them, right? Otherwise I sent you 12 coasters! (Beverly Hillbillies S1 & S2)!

y2k3Joker · 07-29-2005, 03:46 PM

The ones you sent me work (BHB) but I didn't play them on my recorder ... will try them later.

wildlele · 07-29-2005, 05:00 PM

the ONLY discs i burn with are Taiyo Yuden

being canadian i get mine from www.blankmedia.ca

Agent 13 · 07-29-2005, 05:50 PM

Joker,

I can use the Taiyo Yuden to make the DVD with my recorder, but that's it. My burner (DigiCopier) doesn't like them (burning/reading).

Kev,

Yes, I can watch them fine. I knew when I agreed to trade with you that you use Taiyo Yuden.

I have lots of stuff my burner doesn't like. I don't trade to have something to trade. (Sorry about accidentally editing your post. I pushed the wrong button.

Order the Sonics from shop4tech.com, 100s of disks later and I still havn't had any problems.

Lamont · 07-30-2005, 04:41 PM

I try to use name brands, i buy the ones mentioned above, BUT if i get ina bind and have to buy retail, i have found that circuit city has decent prices on TDK and best buy has had MEMOREX 100 pack 16x discs on sale for 39.99 this week, its more costly than getting it on line, but it is a MUCH better price than paying 90 cents a piece to get a pack at walmart

ESA brand is ok for the price, even compusa has a decent store brand,
the worst of all is

nexxtech
i wouldnt even take those for free

at some point you will learn the difference

you may like them, but no one else will

if you send traders generic and off brand junk discs, they will freeze you off-- a lot of traders have had their fill of off brand discs

notice, of all the people who answered this post, not one bought the 19 cent specials

they all bought name brands, especialy ty, and riteks

theres a reason, its just not worth the problems to get the cheapos

heres another reason to buy name brands, memorex will replace their bad media, go to memorex.com, look under product warranty, theres a warranty form, sometimes they ask for receipts, but they ship replacements off very swiftly

also office depot branded 4x discs are ritek go4, the depot delivers for free and has a 10% rebate club called advantage card, besides the 20% off coupon codes you can easily find

this gives quality riteks at generic /off brand prices
