Hello! Ok neither of my new dvd player or my dvd recorder seems to like DVD-R Dual Layer media.

The general consensus is that the only good DL media is the DVD+R type.

Additionally, the general consensus is the only good DVD+R DL media is Verbatim.

So I am just wondering if anyone can tell me if they know of anyone carrying Dual Layer DVD+R White Printables Cheap?

What is "cheap"?

If you look around and catch them onsale, you can find standard Verbatim DVD+R DL media for just around $2.00 a piece.

I have noted that these "sales" are becoming more frequent as time goes on.

But even at $2.00/each, the fact that {1} the compatibility is still low with standalone DVD Players/DVD-ROM drives and {2} high quality DVD-R media is at least 75% cheaper (on an everyday basis) than that makes DVD+R DL IMHO still uninteresting to me for the time being.

As far as printable DVD+R DL media, Verbatim sells them in spindles of 20 according to their website, but I have never seen anyone selling them, but I did just go to Froogle and noted several online places claim to have them. They run around $4.00 each.

1) Cheap and DL are usually never found in the same sentence.
2) Printables in single layer form are not even considered the most reliable as far as universal playability goes.

Sams Club has the non-printable Verbatim +R DL for $77 for a pack of 30 - around $2.56 each + tax.
