Where to get DVD-/+R DL

[joesphroth]

Where can I get some cheap good quality DL discs?

[Jim44]

There's no such thing as "cheap good quality"

For DL there is only Verbatim DVD+R DL - where to get them depends on where you're located. I've purchased them from a local Best Buy as well as MeritLine on-line.

HTH,
Jim

It would help if you'd mentioned where you live

For Verbatim +DL and regular DVD media, take a look at these three:

http://www.supermediastore.com

http://www.meritline.com

BTW, you don't want -DL media.

DL has a very high failure rate unless you use a good disc. Verbatim +DL is the only one at present that has a very high success rate. Not worth saving a few pennies if you have to throw a failed disc in the trash.

Micro Center currently has 20 packs of Verbatim DL on sale for $28.

Office Max has 10 packs for $15.

[t0nee1]

Newegg.....for reasonable price and fast ship....
Also my local Office Max

FWIW I picked up a pack of Memorex DL disks a couple of months back and had nothing but trouble with them in my LG H22L drive. Of the 15 disks in the pack, only 3 were recognized as recordable media. I got rid of the Memorex and picked up a pack of Verbatim DL and they worked perfectly.

I got a pack of Verbatim +DL and what is the best way to burn to them? I usually use DVDDecrypter for all my burning, is this good for DL?

[redwudz]

The 'updated' version of Decrypter is ImgBurn. It does very well at burning DL and other types of discs, especially handling the layer break in a DL disc. But it doesn't decrypt, so you may still want to keep Decrypter around for that and other uses.

I just want to say that in a pinch, I've had good luck with
HP DVD+R DL discs that they sell in Walmart for 3 for $11.
But, if you got the time, and aren't in a rush, get the Verbatim discs
by ALL MEANS.

If you have the time and not in a rush
If you have the time to go to Walmart and pay $3.66 a disc for HP DL one would surely have the time to go to officemax and buy Verbatim DL for $2.00 a disc

Might as well get the 3 packs they have for $5.99. It's $2 per disc just like the 10 packs, but you get a full sized jewel case for each one.

If you get them shipped though, it's a different matter. Unless you get more then $50 worth. Which would then even it out for the two, since shipping is free for orders over $50.

Don't count on that, its a 26 mile round trip for me to go to Walmart, 300mile round trip to Officemax!

Actually I could probably find an Officemax closer, maybe a 150mile round trip but that would be the closest I'm pretty sure and not even certain if one in that town but it's fairly big so maybe.

I living in the boonies off in the woods is nice for some things, but NOT for shopping or highspeed internet that's for sure!!

I found that Fugi-Film DVD+R, DL's worked fine with my Plextor 760A drive. Verbatim is the brand of first choice, but if unavailable, the above works well.
