Best CD's for VCD/SVCD's ?

[MedMan]

What would be the best cd-r's to get for VCD/SVCD's or does it not really matter to much ?

i've never used these cd-r's but i've heard the circuit city sti digital media cds are really good.

We don't have circuit city in Canada, I use Maxwell, Fuji, TDK, Gigastorage, etc...I don't see much of a difference, just wondering if anyone else notices?

hey MEDMAN, BC Canada here.

it doesnt really matter what brand of CDs to use. ive heard that for CDRs, keep it to the generic silver surfaces. i think most DVD players tend to have occasional troubles with the black and blue bottoms, unless they are on a CDRW.

i always get the RCA 50 pack from Future Shop for about $29. they work unbelievably well and pose a quiet top surface, making it cleaner to put labels over. just my 2 cents...

i've used gigastorage and princo with no problems. i just recently got some e-proformance ones (really cheap, $20 bucks canadian for 50) but havn't tried them yet (don't have a standalone dvd just got friends that do )

How about these, 16x CD-R's for $16.00 per 100!
They work just fine for me.
