[aditya11]

its optiarc dvd rw ad-7190...

 

[thetoxicmind]

No issues on that front as long as you have compatible dual-layer dvds.

also, r Moserbaer DL DVDs Good?..can i trust them for burning..had some problem burning with those DL DVDs some moons ago..do they work for u guys?

 

[thetoxicmind]

Not many use dual-layer dvds, primarily due to its availability and price.

I used to use Moser Baer DL DVD's earlier, but after some of them started failing in between burning sessions, now I have switched to Verbatim which are much more reliable.

 

[mk151]

Mser Baer have a really very high failure rate. Verbatim esp. MIS are excellent.

 

[Techie#1]

I also use MIS Verbs(Not Even a Single failure till date), but they r NOT always avilable..sowas again thinking of MB DL DVDs!

I have used MB, Imation and am now using Nationalhyeah:
Bought the National for 20 bucks.... very very cheap...and not even a single failure in the 40 odd discs I have burnt in National:hap2:

20 bucks for dual layer? are you sure? or are you talking about regular 4.7GB single layer DVD's.

IMO single layer (4.7GB) itself costs about 15-20 bucks.

^^ Nope mate, He is right. National dual layer dvds are available at 20/- No failure rate till now.

National single layer costs around 8-10 bucks locally. So dual layer price is right.

Err the price is right...But ur Logic of deriving the price is wrong..Imation single layer dvd costs 10 bucks but dual layer costs 50 bucks... so the logic of doubling the price while doubling the capacity does not hold good

that was not the logic. some member mentioned that a single layer costs 15-20 bucks so i just said that since single layer DVD are way cheaper than 15 bucks(almost half) the price is justified.

I have not bought Dual layers so donno the price but if without bargaining i get a national single layer at 8 bucks 20bucks is a possibility.

Well, I am Ready to pay double for Double capacity, Especially when you can keep double data in One Dual Layer DVD than 2 Single layers.... Saves Some Space...

cool.. 20 bucks then its a good price for dual layer dvd's. i bought 2 moser baer single layer DVD's last sunday and it cost me 18 bucks per piece.

i think i should consider national's dual layer dvd's for burning some of my not-so-important data.

Are these National DL DVD's available at any store in Mumbai? I haven't seen them anywhere. 20 bucks is too good for a DL. I have used National Single layer DVD's and surprisingly have had a better experience with them than even Moser Baer. Not a single failure till date.

No idea if the store has national Dual layer.
