Im starting out DVD burning - hints?

[mrspangle]

Hi,

Im going to start burning my own movies and such this christmas because mainly in the UK the price of burners have come down so much.

I was looking at the Pionner A05 DVD-R/W - by the reviews and comments on this sites and others i think its a good choice - being only £230 here.

Now i know its sort of hit and miss with writing movies and wanting to play them in stand a lone players so i wont go down that road. But anyway i have a Samsung M105. Ive found a site on the net that can supply me with DVD-R 4.7GB discs for just £0.99 each. They are DataSafe are these any good? I can also get White Discs, what about these?

Any comments most appretiated

John

Buy a few of different brands and check how they work. It is good also to check with some other dvd players so you dont burn several movies and they only work on your dvd player.
