My choice would go for verbatim. A bit costly at @ 16 per DVD, but never had a problem writing to them. And some of them are about 4 years old too.

I personally too think Sony is best. Haven't used Verbatim
But by long term how much long do you think? Any marriage DVD or something?

buy dual layer dvd which has a capacity of ~8.5GB & cost is also ~17.5(moser baer brand).lesser no. of dvd's to burn which means easier to carry around.also any decent brand dvd will last for 4-5 years if kept properly in a cd folder/pouch in a humidity free environment.

Moser Baer quality of DVD has deteriorated a lot in the past few years and i would strongly recommend not to use them. SONY is also good in terms of quality.
Also one thing for keeping the DVDs for a long time, is to avoid those cheap CD pouch. Better to use jewel case, if the DVDs contain very important data.

As far as i know, Sony and Verbatim get their DVDs manufactured from the same company, though i cant recall the name of the manufacturer. If you go for Sony, a 50 pack should cost you max Rs. 650 (50 x Rs. 13). I havent purchased Verbatim, but i can vouch for their quality

@ OP/ Sorry for hijacking thread, but as both of our interests are common I believe this will help us.
@ Souro, any shop in chandni that sells dvds? Originals, not duplicates.
@tkin,don't buy from ebay products of dvdstoredelhi instead buy them cheaper directly from their site unless you prefer ebay paisapay.

well my experience with itbazaar so far has been good.after ordering(before 1PM)they usually ship same day or next day.i always got the delivery within 5 days.btw i did some searching & found out that moser baer makes/rebrand the verbatim dvd's here in India(according to disc id as shown in imgburn/nero).so unless verbatim dvd's are made in japan the other verbatim dvd's(single or dual layer) sold here are same as moser baer.

I just mailed him in ebay, if those are DVD+R made in Japan, I'm gonna get me some right away.
How's moserbaer Sterling these days?
according to posts at techenclave,dvdstoredelhi/itbazaar's verbatim with AZO technology are indeed made in japan.see here too:
Question: Verbatim AZO DVD+R (would these one's be quality discs) - Club MyCE
no idea about moser baer sterling but if someone you know is using them you can ask for disk/media ID as shown in imgburn/nero.that will give some idea about its quality.

Haven't got a reply yet, but something tells me that ebay link is not the made in japan type, so I'm gonna order 2x50 packs from them via website, what's their payment option? Nothing stated in website
i paid by depositing cash directly in their icici account as there is an icici branch 10min from my home & also because my online banking account was having some problems.you will get options & delivery charges once you add the items into your cart.you have to then make payment & email them stating your order no.to confirm shipping.

Found it, I'll go ahead, thanks again.
