ok guys. my friends in usa n i just checked amazon. they have ty dvdmedia & also verbatim media.

i need someone to tell me which to order n which is better etc. also keeping the cost in mind.

also i have had some problems with some dvd-r media recently getting errors with some moser baer -r & edgetech -r (power calibaration) so i switched to dvd+r. but i guess good quality -r should work fine. the writer is nec 3500ag. need to know asap.

let me know if these 2 are good & which 1 to get. also u guys can search amazon on ur own there are also many other dvdr media & formats so tell me which to get. looking for spindle of 50 or 100.

Verbatim is the best. PERIOD.

Get Verbatim. Don’t go for that 16x media inthe second link. Verbatim 16x or 8x will be the best. Don’t compromise on quality for speed. It doesn’t matter that much. I used abt 4 DVD+R16x verbatim discs(that is all my dad would allow me to buy) and tons of MoserBaer 8X. The speed between 16x and 8x is not much. And all the discs work perfectly…

To conclude — Verbatim. Verbatim and more Verbatim.

Verbatim will most probably be MCC. TY is any day better than MCC.

Verbs in America are always MCC. Made in Singapore/Taiwan/India.

Verbatim TY discs are Europe only.

Hey Buddy,

Did Amazon ship to India?

How much extra we should pay other than Quote Price (e.g=delivery chafges,shipping,custom taxes etc)

12

if talked locally, i use benq + 8x 4.5 gb @ 190 rupee per box of 10 it burns in 8 minutes

is 12x really needed :-?

13

Where do you get these BENQ media :huh: - I asked my source and pretended ignorance about this media.

I must add that over at CDFreaks forums they dont think very highly about the BENQ media. :frowning:

14

TDK aint bad either :face_with_tongue: .

15 Dollars for a 50 Pack.

8x burns in around 7-9 minutes.

15

Richard, look in the lane after Tara Temple Lane. 2 big stalls right at the corner, selling DVD media. I got me a spindle of the 8X +R Benq discs, quite crappy. Not worth it..

16

read the date of the topic goldenfrag.

@Mangesh - no amazon does not send to india. my friend was in usa at that time so i had asked him to get it. amazon only sends books or some other stuff to india. they dont send any electronic items.

17

THANKS !! for the info… actually I thought …if the shop has BENQ media then he may have some others too. :slight_smile:

What is the BEST media you have found in the market currently ?
