Right, ive been using ridisc 8x dvd -r to burn my dvds onto. I have had a few bad copys so nothing to bad for my first pack of dvds.
I am wondering what is the best thing to get. Dvd - r or + r ? 16x or 8x and what is the best speed to burn at ?
I have been doing my own research and would like to know what these dvds are like and what is the quality going to be like.
I have this website.
DVD-R-c-292.html" target="_blank">http://www.ukdvdr.co.uk/shop/8x-DVD-R-c-292.html they are 8x dvd -r
DVD-R-c-305.html" target="_blank">http://www.ukdvdr.co.uk/shop/16x-DVD-R-c-305.html 16x dvd -r
DVD+R-c-307.html" target="_blank">http://www.ukdvdr.co.uk/shop/8x-DVD+R-c-307.html 8x dvd +r
DVD+R-c-308.html" target="_blank">http://www.ukdvdr.co.uk/shop/16x-DVD+R-c-308.html 16x dvd +r

I would like to know what would be best from those links ? I am looking to get a pack of 50 for no more then £8 as with postage etc it comes to around £13 and im getting a pack of dvds for ps2 games aswell.
My burner is a nec 3550.

THANKS

The type of media that you use depends on what you want to do with it. For simply backing up of DVDs, the best to use are DVD+R types. DVD+R work on almost all types of DVD players, but DVD-R only work on some. About the speed, 16x or 8x, it depends on the brand and speed of your DVD drive. If your computer can handle 16x, which probably will if you computer is not a laptop, get 16x. A little more expensive, but faster to burn, and you can use them at lower speeds if you want to do high quality slow copies, for you PS2.
Hope this helps.
