Poll:What is the best budget DVD-R media manufacturer?

[crazeplaya]

I thought a lot of people would find this useful. Let us know what you think.

[crazeplaya]

I'm not sure why TDK is there twice . If you want to vote for TDK use the top one.

[Faustus]

TDK? Budget? lol

[RoopeT]

Vivastar, Accu, Ritek ... Not sold in Europe
TDK, Maxell, Verbatim ... 6-15 euros/disc (Budget?)

[miketree]

I prefer Datawrite

[jacknjt]

verbatim 1.67 and $1 isnt budget???

I live in Europe and I have bought Riteks and seen Vivastars for sale

[beintot]

Datawrite for me

[tumbar]

Lead Data aka Accu's for me :P

@.80 each, delivered from all media, I just think they are the best value out there or at least best value I have found...only 1X though, but thats okay with me.

Hello, Pioneer?

[crazeplaya]

TDK? Budget? lol

I am not talking about the brand, I am talking about the manufacturer. TDK makes the White Label discs which are less than $2 each

[crazeplaya]

Hello, Pioneer?

Pioneer are not budget though, are they?

They start at $4 a disc if you're lucky

You can get it cheaper at allmediaoutlet.com. (do the math...)
$1.45cdn = $1usd / $1.20cdn = $0.81usd
Princo DVD-R white top - $1.20cdn ea. for a spindle of 100.

Verbatim here, most reliable I have ever used

[defense]

I was gonna mention the same thing a few others did regarding price...Verbatim "not on sale" and TDK as well as "Maxell" are far from considered "budget" disks. The cheapest Maxell I have seen are $2.50 a piece and that's far from a budget. With TDK and Verbatim, a 50 pack spindle cost more then some decent DVD PLAYERS!

I think those media should be exluded from that list because they aren't budget media, however, my vote has to go for ACCU all the way!

[aybesea]

My favorites from this list are the white topped, unbranded TDK's. Unfortunately, my supplier says that TDK has discontinued these discs and is not supplying a replacement, so it looks like I'm searching for new budget discs.

[digitaljim]

Best Buy is now selling spindles of 15 Verbatim DVD-R for $30. Considering that buying from some of the online merchants has become a crap-shoot regarding what you will receive, this is a decent price.

[tommyoz]

I would have to go off the listed ones and say Taiyo Yuden. I don't care how much the cost.

[Xblackout]

What about the Optodisc media, I have pretty good success with them. You can get them for about $0.81 per each US. I Usually get them from http://www.supermediastore.com occsionally from RIMA or other. 8)

[BerettaZ26]

Xblackout,

I noticed that you mentioned that you also use OPTODISC. I ordered my first 50 pack of them from supermedia outlet as well. I'm curious as to how long have you been using them and with what drive and firmware. I haven't been able to find much in the way of info on them on any site and or forum that I have scouted out. 44$ is def not a bad price to spend on 50 thats for sure Hopefully they work out seen as I have read so many negative posts about the dvr-105's select line of media.

Check out the new Bulkpaq X4 speed DVD-R £0.98 ea

[tjtoed]

I have been using the Ritek G03 from Rima.com and have not made a coaster yet...

[osion]

All G03 is cool but as there is new wave of budget disks hitting the market it can only be good news for the customer.


I was an avid Ritek user until Christmas when they though putting the prices up in the UK would make poeple love them, since then I have had no trouble with X4 princo disks of which Datawrite X4 and the new Bulkpaq Tango's are made by.

bring them on.

[jsnkc]

I get mine for .85 a disc and I have never had a coaster after over 1000 discs burned, seems like you guys are really overpaying for your media!

[daesdaemar]

I've been happy with Optodisc bought in bulk.

Hi,

I wonder why Samsung BeAll was not included in the poll ?
