Rainbow was pure shit , i am never gonna buy it.
Burn is used by my brother he says its ok.
Princo i used it earlier and its still working properly.

Guys ne suggestions for Rs20-25 Media , dont wanna blow more on a single DVD.
 
The problem with cheap media is that one batch may be very good to good while the next batch may turn out to be crappy

It's the luck of the draw

The only way to find out is hit & trial..pick one disc, burn, scan...if good, pick up more ASAP from the same shop, preferably same spindle

Else try next brand

Anyway, since utr budget is up2 25, MBI 4x spindles of 10 come for 260/- and though MBI may not be great but is at least dependable

PS : See if you can find a brand called Konco, might turn out to be better that you'd expect

I'd rather not. The problem is not the immediate scan after the burn. Its a scan after 2~3 mths that'll show u how good a disc is. MBI's burnt in my 1673s sucked in scans after 2 months but this is excusable since all Lite-Ons don't go well with MBI's. So its Sony for me now. Gotta try Maxell - Found a box at Ritchie 10 days back for the first time.

Here is Maxell 8X DVD-r's scan -

Those are the ones made in Japan. Taiwan = Ritek G05.
 
What abt the RP for a Mitshubushi 8x DVD-R DUAL-LAYER Media?

My Dealer is asking 190-200 for a single one(JEWEL-CASED)!
 
^Excellent price, though you'll find it's 4X, NOT 8X, and compatibility with DVD players is v. low. Where is your dealer? Which city?
