 |  DVD 8x media I'm the new lucky owner of a Plextor 8x DVDwriter, what HQ media is recommended to write at this speed? I thought of ordering these http://shop.cdfreaks.com/index/2/2/4/207 Quote:
€1.40 / disc

 | The price seems great, but isn't it risky to use unprinted dvd's? 3/4th of my 2 year old unprinted cd-r's are unreadable due to scratches. : / Or are you planning to label them?

| I have over 300 unbranded CDr's, some over 5 years old, the all still work flawlessly, high quality medium it is, can burn at max. writer speed (48x) without problem, also came from romstore/cdfreaks.be I don't label my media, just use a permenant marker.

| Offtopic, I know, but question : What would be the cheapest place to buy a DVD writer + price? ( preferably 8x ) And what's the difference between DVD+R and DVD-R? I know they are just 2 standards, seperate media, but are they readable by all DVD drives? I find the LiteOn at 130€ very tempting, but is it worth it to wait for the 8x to become cheaper? How long does it take to write a dvd with your plextor, jmke? Thx! And again sorry for offtopic... |
