Verbatim DVD+/-R Sale

[Lownox]

Verbatim DVD+/-R's 16X are on sale @ Office Depot untill 9-17-05 for $20 US for a 50 stack. I think this is a good deal. Thought you may want to know.

Probably just about as good a media as can be had, IF your firmware supports it.

I burn at 4x so I use these

I've burnt Verbatim DL with my burner so I'm sure it will handle these. I also burn at 4X but those disc are getting harder to find. I'll never use the 16X burning capacity. I'm just finishing up a box of Taiyo's. Usually use Taiyo's or Ritek's but just could't pass up the price on the Verb's.

I wish Office Depot was closer, nice to use the verb's for a quality test vs the
TY's. Can't resist the 200 paper sleeves w/ disks, if I figured them for 5cents ea,
that makes the TY's only 29 cents each.

PM me your address and I will send you a couple to run some test on if you would like.

If I ever get one of those roundtuit's, the test will involve a lot of dvd's,
since I need to check shrink vidts/nero vs shrink/iso/nero and dvddcrpt iso mode burning.
I intend to use at least 2 different computers with nec3520 burners(different
firmwares) and only quality media(at least 2 kinds).

12 dvd's for 2 computers, 18 for three.

Maybe I can get Blu to change his mind about NERO.

Never in a million years.

Well I suppose if my initial results confirm that DvDD is superior, I might concede
defeat and save myself some time and trouble.




Actually, it took my son almost a year to convert me from easycd
to nero(3 years ago).

[Lownox]

Didn't know that it was going to be that in depth. Just thought if a couple of disc would help I'd send you some.

I appreciate the offer, hopefully my son can pick some up if they aren't
all gone, interesting to see how they measure up against the TY 4x in a
quality test.

rbrtpl, YW!

I've been using CompUSA's generic DVD+R's 4x with great success.

Just picked up a spindle of 100 for $25. Once or twice a year they have them for $20.

BTW - Stay away from Circuit City's ESA DVD+R discs. They suck - many failures...

Staples in their stores has an unadvertised clearance on Verbatims 16x DVD-R and +R 10 packs for $2.50, Light Scribe media 10 for $2.50 and DL media 3 for $5.50. If the price on the shelf is normal they will price right at checkout. I got some late last night, all the 16x they had left (6-10 packs of +R ) and 1 pk of DL. Get 'em if you can, ya can't get hurt.

Go figure, 25 cents for state of the art disks, with jewels(?), clearance,
sure, now when I bought my dvd-r maxell 4x made in japan for that I just figured
they didn't know the old stuff was MUCH better than the new.
