Ask the seller for "made in" and "media code" info first.
Made in india verbatim's are good also plus there cheap compared to the singapore one's.

ok i'll ask that...for that cost its made in India for sure....but which one is better of two?? DVD-R or DVD+R

 

[ch@ts]

it hardly matters now a days...+R, -R, it's all about the same. Though on my writer I get slightly better quality burns on -R's.
Buy the cheaper one.

Get the matt silver -R ones. Supposed to be better. I had got the +R matt silver (second link) from lamington road for 550 bucks and the burn quality wasn't all that great using my new SH-223F and 8X speeds.

^^Thanx for the info...I thought of getting +R since those are available at market section so assumed that it would be better...but I'll take matt silver -R...I guess I'll get it for 625 shipped to my place in hyderabad...

which dvd writer do you have rohan ?

Some writers tend to prefer one over the other.

I asked a TE guru and he said "get the Verbatim pearl whites for 550/- odd."

Hi faheem, can you explain this? How did you determine burn quality?
Thanks
