i ordered a 50-pk of avb dvd+r 8x from newegg and was wondering if avb is any good. i read a review on it on newegg and some guy said it was top quality (that taiyo ru-whatever), but i think he was exaggerating.
i wouldn't recommend them and probably wouldn't waste time trying to burn movies on them data would be ok if you wanted to keep them, but in the future i would invest in high quality discs for video backups
Never heard of avb, see if they have the media ID listed on the product's page. I bought my burner from them, and they included 5 free 'newegg' branded blank dvd's, which turned out to be ritek g04's, which are pretty decent. Not that that guarantees the quality of what you're getting, but I have had good experiences with newegg, as have alot of people I've talked too, so hopefully what you're getting is good.
what's the media id? here's the page http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-132-808&depa=0
Ya, you lucked out, though there are plenty of brands that put a fake media id on their disks, or they package different manufacturers disks under their brand name, so I say in the future buy TY disks that haven't been rebranded. You can get 50 packs of TY brand disks from meritline.com for 24.50, 47.50 for 100, which is even a little better than the disks you got. They're the silver face ones.
