What are the best brands to get dual-layer DVDRWs (+ and -)?

Yes, RW since I will be reusing them. Is it me or are DVD+/-RW discs rare? Just you. Not as common as DVD+/-R but nothing even remotely resembling anything like rare. But maybe you left out the dual layer in the body of this post. DL DVD+/-RWs arent very common at all. Sorry, I meant dual layer/DL RWs not the cheaper smaller capability ones. Oh well, those are definitely in the rare to never seen one category, it most be the price question. The problems with RW (SL) are mostly in the compatibility path, while they work in computer readers, most give errors when used in a normal consumer DVD. I had use 3 different brands, none has played OK neither on my players (Phillips) or my cousin one (Samsung), so for me they are very expensive coasters. Wow, I thought this issue would resolved by now. Hence, why I stuck with CD burners for many years and finally decided to get a DVD burner drive. I remember this problem with CDRWs back in the old days. That was quite annoying. Things got a lot better now. I just hated making coasters with CDRs and DVDRs. And I do like to erase RW medias and reuse them. I guess I should not bother with DVD RW medias then. -- "He who storms in like a whirlwind returns like an ant." --Borneo /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Phil/Ant @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) | |o o| | Ant's Quality Foraged Links (AQFL): http://aqfl.net \ _ / Nuke ANT from e-mail address: NT ( ) or Ant is currently not listening to any songs on his home computer. |
