Those cheap blank DVDs you bought at the market may end up costing you more in the long run - what good is a DVD that produces coasters 25% of the time, and why bother writing your precious data to a disk if you can't read from it a year later.

Premium List
Taiyo Yuden * Sony Ricoh ** Verbatim *** Panasonic ****
* Plextor, Miflop Xtreme

*** It depends who manufactured this for Verbatim. Look for made in Japan on the spindle or DVD case for the best stuff in the 8x range
**** again look for Made In Japan on the packaging
