Both Ridata (my preferred brand), both 8x, both cheap.

1 DVD+R, 1 DVD-R

The DVD-R is G.05 dye from ritek.

I just don't know which one to buy

(obviously my drive supports both...before anyone asks)

For you, I'd probably go with +R, if only because liteon seems to prefer +R over -R somewhat. The +R will be R03, I've used them with great luck, but I don't have a Liteon personally.

BTW, these +Rs have had rebates on them to make them about $28 shipped a couple of times recently. If you can wait for another rebate to show, you might want to.

Edit: Here you go, $27.99 shipped, after rebate. I've done a couple of their rebates and received the rebates with issue.

Thanks for the advice....but i'm afraid i've changed burners already (forgot to update my details). I have the NEC-ND3520A......

does that change your verdict?

[steve2713]

Nah, I've got two NECs and they burn the +R R03s very well for me, so I'd still suggest the +Rs. Especially when they're that cheap :P.

You match it to your writer, what writer is this? Did you read the media topic:

Thanks
