Well looking at what u ppl are saying, I condider myself lucky to be staying in Delhi where in Nehru place I got 25 DVD's for 325 and if I bought 50 DVD's then per dvd cost would have been aroound 11...And I am talking about MMORE (ie MOserbaer). Dual layer reatils for R. 200 at nehru place....

I forgot to mention that these are 16x DVD's and if u want cheaper, go for cheaper brands.

Which place

Shiva Tower in Ghaziabad.
The brand (oh yeah!) is rainbow and the dealer has taken full guarantee that none of the DvDs will be "bekaar".

Now I think my friend will buy around 80 more for 9 per piece (40 for me ofcourse). Lets see if he can make the deal.

dont know why u guys Play around with Cheap Media,Invest 5 or 6 bucks more get good quality ones like Sony or Taiyo Yuden,they will burn well & Last Long

Keeping ur Data safe for years to come

my 2 Cents

 

[cynosure]

^^ Those 5-6 bucks matter a lot when you have 200GBs to burn. (I know this coz I got 292 movies to burn Yo! babe)
These are my 2 cents.

it will matter a lot more when u loose ur movies due to those cheap dvd's

hours of work will go waste when u find some that Ur Cheap Disc Becom Unreadble & starts Giving CRC's Errors...

Choice is ur Finally Mate,i have no Probs if u want to risk ur Data @ the cost of saving money

 

[cynosure]

^^. You dont have to give me that advice. I already knew that.
But now I will sleep with a heavy heart.

@cynosure

Nothing to advice ya, but i've recently lost almost about 8 to 10 movies on different diffrent DVDs which i wrote about an year to two years back !!

Although i recovered them but they now stutter and skip now, my fine prints, so ruined now !!

 

[cynosure]

^^Holy cow. I know how it feels.
I formatted my HDD and unknowingly deleted 8 DVD movies. I wasted so much of time downloading them and all the time down the drain.
Waise which brand were you using?

is DVD+R superior to DVD-R?

DVD-R format developed in 1997 and so older players/drives may support only this one.
DVD+R format developed in 2002 is said to be technologically superior.

Recent players/drives support both in addition to DVD-RAM.

I know about the superior burning in DVD+R. I wanted to know if DVD+R discs are superior to DVD-R discs in durability.
