Hi I am burning home videos / data to my DVDs using EMC 10.

Was wondering what brand of DVD's is good to use for burning movies\data. There are so many on the market...

Now Memorex DVD-R is on sale. Is it a good brand?

Also is there a difference between DVD-R or DVD+R?


Thank you,
Stan

Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim are most recommended.

In addition to what Firenhancer said, you can get Verbatims at Best Buy, and other stores like that.

Taiyo Yuden are available, online, but I have never seen them in stores.

The Memorex are probably Ritek, click #1 in my signature.

You can get the Media Code of your Blank DVD Media by using the software DVD Identifier .

Taiyo Yuden disc's are not sold in retail stores in the US, only available online at places like Rima.com, SuperMediaStore.com, buy the premium not the value line.
