Blank Media & Quality FAQ

[Doobie]

I found this great deal on discs, some Memorex Printable DVD+R, and bought them. I have never bought Printable ones before but now that I have them I'm curious. WHAT DO I NEED TO PRINT ON THEM? DO I need a special printer or what? Please Help.

Sounds like you bought rewriteables (DVDRW)?

If so you need to format them using the dvdrw utility software that came with your dvd drive.

Dynex Best Buy House Brand

I have been using the Dynex brand from Best Buy and have not had any problems. I have a friend that works there and gets a discount. So I have been using the Dynex. The only problem was due to human error when I trashed 4 or 5 discs. I am using an Acer laptop and two external DVD buners one is a Pioneer and the other is a Samsung with lightscribe.
