i usually buy Sony DVd -R's and they work fine they usually cont 30$ canadian for a 50 pack. i was just wondering if there is any other media that performs better or equal to the sony's but for a cheaper price?...i dont mind if i have to buy it online. thx
Hi there, Yes it's possible to buy extremely cheap media. But most good media pretty much cost the same. If you want my opinion, buy Taiyo Yuden from http://www.blankmedia.ca They are based in Canada, I have heard only good of them, and their price are very good, specialy for Taiyo Yuden (The best media). http://www.blankmedia.ca/prodsubcats.asp?id=62 Their price compares to Verbatim, and Fujifilm. Yes there will be a little shipping fee, but hey, you are getting genuine Taiyo Yuden, you can't go wrong there. I still have some Ritek G04 to burn, but when I'm out, I'm gonna probably get 200 x DVD-R 4X TAIYO YUDEN SILVER LACQUER. $80.90can for 200, can't go wrong there 200 x DVD-R 8X TAIYO YUDEN SILVER LACQUER for $122.95
thx Your order information: Total QTY : 50 Your total price : $23.95 Shipping : $8.49 Total GST : $2.27 Total PST : $2.6 Total HST : $0 Total Tax : $4.87 Pre-Discount Total : $37.31 Grand Total : $37.31 its more than 30$ but i guess its worth it for genuine taiyo yudens

According to Videohelp.com those RCA's Should be ritekg03's and they are supposed to be good.. So I dunno... for $2 I'll have to check my local big lots and see if they have any...
I don't believe canada has any Big Lots stores.I live in west central Ohio,and those same stores are called Odd Lots,same chain. My local oddlots just has the chinese made panasonic discs.Not even going to chance them.They also have some crappy memosux discs. tmfloria: Staples have 30 pack spindles of fuji for $9.94 and these are made by taiyo yuden! Office depot has the maxell 50 pack spindles for $17.99. The Japanese ones have been turning up hitachi and the taiwanese are turning up ritek. Their bargain was last week: Spindles of 100 of their office depot brand 8x for $28.00. These were also ritek's!
sorry, I live in california, I don't know how far biglot stores travel. But what I do know is that RCA dvdr are great and I have no probs with them.
order ty's from meritline.com next time. i ordered the 4x for $30 free shipping and actually got the 8x
Hello Kinza, meritline.com is is the US right ? We live in Canada, by the time you do the "Can To US" conversion, plus customs blablabla it kills the deal. www.blankmedia.ca is in Canada. All you pay is a little shipping and of course our beautiful taxes, but you get genuine Taiyo Yuden. If you buy the 4x ones, they are suppose to be TYG01 but you may end up with a batch of TYG02. Anyway, you still get the best media at a reasonable price. Where's what STUNT2061 payed for: $37.31 CAD = $30.4908 USD So he received 50 x TYG02 for $30,49US Not bad not bad at all !!! I still haven't bought from them yet, still have lots of media to use 1st, but everyone who bought there are 100% happy. STUNT2061, you bought the 4x (TYG01) and received some TYG02. those are the same as the 8x Taiyo Yuden ! Man I gotta get some !!! You lucky duck. You should be able to burn those 8x (Don't push your luck hahaha) without a problem ! Yes, some will burn them at 12x !
Ok So I went to Big Lots to check out the RCA DVD+R and DVD-R I 3pk of the DVD-R was $1.17 and the 6PK that I bought of the DVD+R was $2.34 Still not a bad price... They are RICOHJPNR01 http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia.php They Are Pretty good media.. So not bad for $2.34 purchase
tmfloria, That's still about 39 cents a piece,not counting the governor's share on those rca's. I just picked up another pack of those fuji's at staples,taiyo yuden for 33.3 cents a piece.They still had quite a few left.They also have 100 slim fuji cases for $9.94. 10 cents apiece on those slim cases,I had to pick up a couple hundred cases for that price. Ricohjpn-01 are pretty good. Maxell uses that mfg code on majority their +4x discs.I've burned over 400 of those ricohs-95% success.
Well there ya go then $.33 without a case and what I bought was $.39 with a case.. So it evens itself out.. but I'll end up picking up some of the Staples Fugi Films
