DVD-R's purple bottom

[dncpunke]

Are there any dvd-r's out there that do not have purple on the bottom? Is there any silver out there? May be a dumb question, but I was curious about this. Anyone with any info would be appreciated. Thanks

All it took was a simple google search for 'Silver DVD-R'

[housepig]

but has anyone answered his question?

I see lots of silver dvd-rs, but I think these are silver top... he was looking for silver top and silver bottom, not purple, unless I'm reading his post wrong...

For example, the last page I listed. It has things like silver/blue, silver/silver. I believe that the first color is the top color and the second color is the bottom.

TGPO -

my apologies

you are quite correct.

I will go impale myself now...

Ok, newb alert,, what difference does it make if the writing surface is silver or purple? Are there any advantages or disadvantages??

[tgpo]

It all has to do with the dye that is used. I'm not terribly sure what the advantages/disadvantages are of the different colors.

Exactly how do you get from that statement that he wanted a silver top? heh, oh well.

I think housepig thought my reply was only for non-blue top DVD-Rs, not the original question.
