hi desertwind,

thanks for reply. is moserbaer media @ Rs20 you said, a dvd-r or dvd+r??

thax again

[desertwind]

everything DVD-R.

dvd-r disks are mostly available in price range of 12-45 bucks. But what u dont get in the unbranded one are reliability,actual write speed and space mentioned.

My suggestion is to go with Moser-baer or Writex or Tech-com DVD disks.
got heavy pockets, then go for these:- Sony,HP,Toshiba or Mitshibushi.
Also look out for DVD dual layer disks.

dual layer is sure wate of money unless u either have lots to spare or u want to have a single disc at all costs...
300bucks for a dual layer disc...yikes!!!!

thanks all.

one small question.......

if dvd-r cost lower, offers same data space and equal reliability as well, then why should we ever buy a dvd+r media??

thax

c'mon guys please reply!!!!

DVD+R is said to be much more well engineered than DVD-R and is superior in quality. But DVD-R offers more compatibility with media drives, as DVD+R sacrifies compatibility for features.
