Nu DDW-082 Recommended Media in UK

[EricBinford]

Hello.

I am a little bewildered by all the choice, so can someone please help? All I would like is a recommendation of which brand of DVD+R to use in my Nu Tech DDW-082 (firmware upgrade from 081).

I had a batch of unbranded Maplin DVD-Rs that worked in my old NEC 2500A, but they do not work in the DDW-082. Nero looks like it's burning but discs are subsequently reported as blank!

Many thanks

Eric

It is unticked. Only Write is ticked.

The media that came with the drive work fine.

For what it's worth, DVDInfo reports this about the Maplin discs:

But all I really need is recommendation of a reliable DVD+R for this drive.
