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

4.7GB per disc x 100= 470GB
€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.

well maybe this? http://www.pctools.be (the promotion)

don't have a clue if princo is an A class medium.

(platinum and no-name suck btw, all my media > 1year is almost unreadable :( )

"Up to 4x speed"

:/

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...

I bought my Plextor @ www.pctools.be , it's €235 + €15 rembours shipping. quite competitively priced

Mitsui and Tayio Yuden have a good rep
