Best deal on blank DVDs?

[PJsig08]

Looking for DVD+R I believe, single layered, 50-100 pack. Where should I go online and/or B&M?

[yashan]

Some good information in this thread:

DVD media, what's the "best" brand? (http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=419030)

[josepotato]

Target has 50 packs on sale this week for $18.

[glassdragon]

only problem is that those are DVD+r's . I'd personally have dvd-r's. Still a great deal if you use +'s

I have +r's. I set Nero as "DVD-ROM" for the Book Type so they are seen as DVD-r's, playable in more Standalones

[X]

Yup. As long as your burner can set the booktype to DVD-ROM, DVD+R provides 100% compatibility with standalone players because they appear to be commercially produced discs, not recordables. And they burn slightly faster as well.

[glassdragon]

I was not aware of this.. thanks

bestbuy B&M has the Fuji 100 PK DVD+-R $39.99 after $40 instant rebate.
+R was 'Made in Japan'.
Ran Nero Infotool - Manufacturer ID: Yuden000 T02.

might not be the best deal, but fuji is one of the best brand on dvd media.

[pdutta2000]

The Target sale is for Imation +R and -R. I've used the Imation +R and set the booktype to DVD-ROM and have had no issues on my Lite-On DVD burner.

[kiddk1]

i was in compusa (http://www.compusa.com) yesterday and they had the 10 packs of dvd-r with cases for 49cents after MIR.

[Michael Corvin]

I bought two 25 packs of Philipps(-R) at CC the other day for $6.98 each. Good deal. I haven't tried them out yet though.

[Sonicflood]

I have +r's. I set Nero as "DVD-ROM" for the Book Type so they are seen as DVD-r's, playable in more Standalones

Where is that setting? I have Nero 6 Enterprise Edition 6.3.1.17

I know there is a newer version (6.6.0.14), but I've had no problems with my version thus far. What's "improved" by updating to the new version? EDIT: I visited the Nero web site and found no advantage to me in updating.

Where is that setting? I have Nero 6 Enterprise Edition 6.3.1.17I've heard of that setting as well but have never seen it in Nero. I just rely on the firmware or a separate utility to set it.

[Spy021]

Best Buy has Verbatim DVD-R and DVD+R on sale this week for $19.99 for a 50 pack. I picked up a set tonight for use with my Tivo/DVD Recorder.

On 6.3.0.3, it's on the burn tab. It's just a little check box labelled "Book Type DVD-ROM". I use -/+ interchangeably with no problems.

[Buford T Pusser]

Thanks for the reminder. I need to purchase some for a trade I'm doing.

[digitalfreaknyc]

Any deals on dual-layer media?

[mbs]

This isn't DVD+R, but its a good deal:

TigerDirect is selling "Famous Brand 50-Pack 2x DVD-R in Spindle" for $8.99. These are actually SONY discs (but yes, only 2X) as confirmed by DVDInfoPRO (and obvious writing on disc).

I've only used them for data, but I've burned around 20 of them without a problem at all. Even if they are 2X discs, hard to beat $0.18 per disc.

[clckworang]

I usually buy my discs at www.meritline.com; I really like that they also have a combo deal where you can buy, say, 50 blank DVDs and get 50 DVD cases with them.

[sman113]

Circuit City has 25 packs on sale this week for like $8.

[Buford T Pusser]

I stopped by CC today and got some for $7.98 as mentioned in the post above mine.

[nickdawgy]

:lol:

I saw some dude at CC yesterday and he had 10 packs of these.

[slateef]

are these still on sale at cc?

[Buford T Pusser]

Yes. Until Saturday.

[bareva]

I dont know if youre a costco member, but Costco will be having a buy one get one free with coupon valid aug. 15 thru aug. 21, 2005. TDK DVD-R and/or TDK DVD+R. 100pk, printable surface, 8x Recording speed.

Office Depot has a $25 off $75 code (72050470) - free ship w/ $50> order.

[Buford T Pusser]

How much are the discs at Costco?

[Buford T Pusser]

Here's some info from a friend that posts here.

I've been burning DVD-R, which to my understanding is
more widely compatible with older DVD players than
DVD+R.

I like media made by a Japanese company called Taiyo
Yuden. Pretty much anything marked Made in Japan is
made by TY. I know for sure TY makes Fuji's discs
(both CDs and DVDs).

I'm buying my DVD-Rs online, either at
www.meritline.com or www.supermediastore.com . Both
have sales with an online code that essentially makes
the shipping free. I pay about $32 total for a spindle
of 100. The discs are unbranded Taiyo Yuden, with
either silver laquer or printable plain white labels.
I get the silver, then use Avery transparent film
labels from Staples. They look great.

Meritline has TY on sale right now. They're labeled
4X, but they burn at 8X in the NEC drives:

http://www.meritline.com/taiyo-yuden-4x-dvd-r-media-silver-lacquer.html

When I bought from meritline, I had my order in two
days. The discs don't come actually on a spindle,
they're bulk wrapped. So the first time you order from
Meritline, you probably want to order a cakebox,
either two 50-d-sc boxes or one 100-disc, here:

http://www.meritline.com/cd-dvd-case-cases-jewel-slim-double-dual-portable.html

[Ocelot]

Still... No posts beat the price Staple had a while back... $8 for 50 dvd-r or dvd+r discs... I brought three of those and still got plenty left (even after a massive request of a family dvd, man, people are lazy and greedy, can you burn me one? how can you say no...)

[Buford T Pusser]

I stopped by Costco today. The 100 pack is $41.99 so with coupon it will be $22 per 100.

What coupon - was there one in the coupon book? I don't remember seeing that one...

What brand are those, btw?

[Buford T Pusser]

I believe it's in the coupon book. I can't find mine but usually they have them at the register.

They are TDK 8X cd-r or cd+r.

The sale starts in the next week or two.

[Buford T Pusser]

Oh yeah, see post #26.

Doesn't work. I got this:ou must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:

* (CD06) The coupon 072050470, requires an order total of at least 75.00,. At this time the order total is .00. This may be the result of certain product exclusions.

[RaMMaR]

Doesn't work. I got this:
:foot: It appears to be a NON TECH code. Sorry. :o
Code: 49014048 $30 off $150 (exp. 08/01) seems to work.
That's gonna be a helluva lot of DVDs though.

[forumsmy]

The other code does work for ink, though, even if not for tech stuff.

[PerryD]

The 100 pack is $41.99 so with coupon it will be $22 per 100.
$21 :)

[digitalfreaknyc]

again...anything for dual-layered blanks?

[Buford T Pusser]

$21 :)


DOH! -ohbfrank-

[Y2K Falcon]

I am Costco addicted. I still have like 9 15-packs from the Staples deal a few months ago, that I've only used like 6 of, and I can't wait to use that b1g1 coupon. :drool:

[Comfort Eagle]

again...anything for dual-layered blanks?

Yeah, thats what I want.

[X]

Have you people looking for dual-layered blanks ever used them?

I was very unimpressed with their performance.

[masetodd]

Currently Fry's Electronics (Bay Area, CA) has a 50-pk of either DVD+R or DVD-R for $9.50. They are GQ brand (don't know if this is crap or not).

[PlumPeach]

My local Office Max has 100 packs of Memorex printable DVD+R for $40.00. They're only 4x speed, but if you need printables it's a pretty good deal.

[digitalfreaknyc]

Have you people looking for dual-layered blanks ever used them?

I was very unimpressed with their performance.


Yup. About a dozen times. No coasters. No problem with performance. Used Ritek and Verbatim.

[ANDREMIKE]

What do you mean by unimpressed with the performance? You use a DL DVD to be able to store more data. Not for image quality or burn speed.

[X]

What do you mean by unimpressed with the performance? You use a DL DVD to be able to store more data. Not for image quality or burn speed.With a DVR'd movie, very slow chapter navigation, very long layer break.

I used Memorex. People seem to be having better luck with other brands.

[digitalfreaknyc]

Yep. memorex are supposed to suck, from what I've heard.

Where did you burn it? Stand-alone or on your PC?

[X]

PC, on an NEC which burns pretty much anything very well.

The media code of the disc is RITEKD01 so it looks like it's Ritek. I'm doing a media scan on it right now. It looks like it's got fairly high PI and PIF numbers.

[Gunshy]

Run, don't walk, as OfficeDepot.com is currently having a 60% off Philips DVD (& CD-R) media, if you are lucky to live in a zipcode where there are some left. Check the thread at FW.

-Gunshy

[X]

Isn't Philips hit-or-miss as to what DVD media you'll get? Some is great, some stinks.

Has anyone gotten it to work?

[Peep]

Works for me but I'm not sure I want to buy a spindle-less package. Isn't there a lot more chance of disc scratching?
