DVD+R Good

Advantages: Very reliable, come in a ase
Disadvantages: Not very cheap, slow burn speed, not printale

...case supplied is only CD-sized, so your DVD+Rs stand out against the rest of yur DVD collection on a shelf. 4) If you have a newer DVD burning drive, these will only burn at a maximum of 4x speed. These negative points aside, if you need a good quality DVD+R quick and can't wait for an internet shop to deliver, get down to WH Smith and pick up some of these little beauties - you won't be disappointed....

Review of Memorex DVD-R 4.7 GB 8x

stable DVD-/+R!!!

Advantages: Very good brand
Disadvantages: none at the moment

...This DVD-/+R is absolutely amazing, it has never let me down! First, the This type of DVD is said to be Data/Video and it does what the description say. When i first burnt my home video on to this DVD-/+R and played it on my DVD player, i thought it wasn't going to recognize it, however it played it correctly without jumping tracks or anything!. I tried burning with my other DVD-/+R but all of them didn't recognized my home video, sadly! Personally, i would go for DVD+R for burning home videos. Burning it using data as a storage also delivers a high quality. There were no errors and each time, it recognized the disc because some 'crappy' DVD-/+R doesn't even load it on the computer, HOwever, TDK is top-notch. The burning speed for DVD is 1-4x so it's not that slow. To burn the whole Data of 4.7gb would take about 30 minutes...

An Exciting Review on Blank DVD-R`s

Advantages: Store a lot of data
Disadvantages: You need a DVD-R Drive to write to them

...I am sure you are really excited about the prospect of reading a review about blank DVD-R`s, but actually blank DVD-R`s are quite exciting because of their ability to hold vast amounts of data. Not so long ago, people were able to back up all of their important data on floppy disks, then came the advent of the CD-R, a medium on which up to 700 MB of data could be stored safely and quickly. But with the arrival of such blank media so the need to store more and more data arrived, the last time I backed up my important data it took four CD-R`s to complete the job. A time consuming task changing the CD-R`s and the rising costs involved prompted me to take the next step up and buy a DVD-R drive, and of course some blank DVD-R`s to use in it. While researching both the DVD-R drive and the blank media to use in it one name was constantly...

Princo DVD-R - Blank DVD's on a budget.

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: There is a slim possibility of some of the discs being faulty

...The Princo DVD- R is a straightforward blank storage media for use in DVD writers. The discs have a 4.7GB capacity and can be written to at speeds up to 16 X. But do not forget they can only be written to once - they are not rewritable. The label side of the disc is plain, with very little written on it, leaving ample space for you to put information. The discs are supplied in basic packaging, and if you want a case for an individual disc you will have to buy the cases seperately. In my opinion these discs are very cheap, and accordingly their quality comes into question. However out of about 100 discs that I have bought only 2 have been faulty. In my view they are an excellent choice for those of you that use a lot of blank DVD's....

Tesco DVD +R 50pk

Advantages: Cheap annd Reliable
Disadvantages: Spindle casing the DVDs are packaged in not suitable for storing DVDs once opened

...This 'write once' pack of DVD +R is great value. At the moment Tesco are retailing these at £14.97 which works out to be about 30p each The pack comes in as a spindle pack with no covers. They are write once only at max speed of x8 and have a storage capacity of 4.7GB each. The +R format can be used in the following DVD machines: Technika Bush Alba Daewoo Goodmans Matsui Philips The following machines are also compatible with +R as well as -R Sony LG Liteon Sharp The hardware that only caters for -R and therefore cannot use the +R format are: Hitachi JVC Panasonic Pioneer Samsung Toshiba The spindle pack the DVDs come in is very flimsy cheap plastic so once opened the original casing is not very good to store the blank DVDs. However, this is a minor quibble considering the price they retail at...

Review of Tesco DVD+R 50Pk

Quality branded DVD-R's from TDK

Advantages: Reputable and reliable
Disadvantages: Bad colour

...I paid about £20 from Adsa for the pack of 100 TDK DVD-R's (4.7Gb, 16 x speed), which I consider to be great value for a reliable, reputable make such as TDK. I have used about half of the discs so far, mainly for films but also for backing up data, photos etc, from the PC. I have not encountered a single faulty disc, as of yet. They seem very reliable, and have a write speed of upto 16 x, although I have not been able to test this as my DVD writer only writes at a maximum 4 x. My only grumble with the discs is the colour. They are printed a metallic blue colour, with a pattern and the TDK logo on. While this is very nice to look at, it isn't very good for writing on with a black marker. Space (to write on the disc, not capacity) is limited because of this....

Review of TDK DVD+R 4.7 GB 8x

Samsung DVD R136

Advantages: None - won't accept ANY brand of DVD RW so totally useless
Disadvantages: See above

...DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF CRAP!!! My advice would be if you have or been given one for Xmas - take it the hell back and get a refund or exchange it for a NON Samsung DVD recorder. Samsung should be prosecuted for selling what is obviously a faulty machine! Plenty of reviews online ALL saying the same thing - it will NOT accept DVD-RW. So, not fit for purpose. Samsung will probably blame the consumer, as always. Well, FOUR brands of HIGH QUALITY BRAND NAMES, cleaning the lensas suggested on some sites DOES NOT WORK! Seriously, you will regret the day you bought one of these pieces of crap! I've spent more money on finding out WHICH brand plays - as the manual is utterly useless when it says 'some brands may not work' but DOESN'T tell you which do! HELLO, are there ANY people with brain cells employed at this company???! No, poor...

Verbatim DVD+R 4.7 GB 16x - GREAT DVD's

Advantages: Excellent to Store data, home video & music files, 4.7gb, 16x speed, just 5 mins to burn
Disadvantages: None, well None for me

...First of all just like to mention that for me personally Verbatim DVD's are the best QUALITY DVD's. The Verbatim 16x DVD has 4.7GB of data or 120 minutes of video can be recorded in just 5 minutes. YES JUST FIVE MINUTES, I was surprised by myself that the DVD could be recoreded so QUICKLY. the 16x discs will ensure any recording to be of the highest quality and the multiplicity compatibility of Verbatim's discs make the DVD's very ideal for sharing and Storing computer data. Great to store Home videos and Music Files on. Features of Verbatim DVD: -4.7 GB capacity -Highest level of recording stability - The DVD+R offers up to 4 hours of the highest quality MPEG-2 video and is (well it was definatly for me) a cost effective solution for storing, editing of data, audio and video files. Another benefit of this product...

DataWrite - Cheap and Nasty or Just Good Value

Advantages: Cheaper than competition, large range with prices to suit all pockets.
Disadvantages: For me none, but there is some brand snobbery

...Before I start this review, I'm going to make it clear, that it only an account of my experience with various DVD-R discs in the Datawrite line. It will therefore not include any of their range that I do not have personal experience of (although I will be supplying a link where you can get information about these). However, I have used several of their DVD-R along with DVD-RW and their sister label Datasafe DVD-RAM. The Company ******************** Maybe we should start with the company itself. Datawrite DVDs are part of a range distributed by Datasafe media, who claim to be largest re-distributor of DVD media in the UK. Notice, that I said re-distributor, this means that they buy in discs from a range of companies and then badge them as their own brand. This means as they offer a great variety in quality levels and dye types...

Review of Datawrite DVD-R

Sleak And Sexy, Just Like Me!

Advantages: Highly durable machine
Disadvantages: None, it even survives long drops

...I recently purchased the Samsung DVD-R128. I had simple requirements, it needed to be cheap (this was a secondary recorder), it needed to be of a certain size (due to the space it was to fill in a piece of furniture), and most importantly it needed to record in the - format. The main brand you find that falls into these requirements is LiteON, but I had just encountered a nasty situation with two different models of LiteOn product, that meant after years of respect for the brand, I no longer wanted anything to do with them. However this model Samsung machine stood out, it met all my requirements, plus my very first DVD player was a Samsung and almost 10 years on it still works fine. Ok so lets get technical for a second; the recorders vital statistics were size and this model sits with a width of 43 cm, and a height of 4.9 cm; these...
