@ alex808, As you have been told - there are tons of threads for you to sift through. It is obovious that you didn't even try to research your question BUT as you're new, I'll post this for you - A good grade, Hi-quality media is needed for DVD reproduction ! Phillips, Sony, TDK, HP, "Branded" RiData Go3's, Maxell +R (not the -R's as they cannot be trusted), Sony, Fuji, Ritek G04 and G05, Verbatim - DataLife, Verbatim - DataLife Plus and media boasting "Advanced Metal AZO" BUT, it must say "Advanced METAL AZO", this indicates a superior dye and dye application on a good composite disc. Generally, almost any discs manufactured by Taiyo Yuden, RICOH and Mitsubishi are excellent bets. Prices online from Meritline.com OR Newegg.com have gotten Ritek G04 starting at about a $ .36 (USD) a disc – and just recently, a "Super Sale" had TY discs, 4X for $.24ea (USD). When shopping for discs for DVD backups, purchasing inexpensive media or even average media is a gamble, there may be one or two pple that seem to winBUT, the vast majority of pple lose, they lose varying amounts true but, they still lose :-( We put this information out to enlighten you, do with it what you will. We don't really care if you wish to throw your money away by gambling it on crappy media, after all, it is your money. The choice is, and always be, yours. Using good grade media can guarantee you one thing to an absolute certainty; it surely cannot hurt. Cheers, Pete Should you wish more information upon this subject, I suggest you search for it first, Far too much time has been spent on this thread already - not everything will be handed to you - we expect you to do some work on your own - We are here to help those who, at the very least, attempt to help themselves. Next time read a bit before you post -[/b]
