@ Sajeev
Moserbaer "third class"! I doubt. Not a single disc of mine showed error.

nither did mine , I did not say any thing ,I was only summarizing what is said in that PDF file I found here on THIS SITE
*www.digitalfaq.com:80/media/dvdmedia.htm

they have lot of other criteria that they judged this from.
I posted the link from where I downloaded it ,above.Read it some might find it interisting

When I bought my Sony DRU 810A few days back, I was apphrehensive since it was heard that it was choosy about the media. So I wanted to try some cheap media to make sure and experiment and bought 10 nos. of "National" blank DVD @ Rs.16/ each. And it is being wrote and read without any problem. The only concern is how long the written disks will last.

And of course branded media like Sony were available at the same shop for Rs.50 upwards.

And some of my friends have been buying disks for Rs.12/- and they are not having problems.

And finally the good old Floppy Disk still costs > Rs.15/-

the disks in the range 12-16 arent bad unless u r toooo frequent in using them. i remember my scorpio dvd returned a read error after using for abt 4-5 times!! better write it as backup and use them once in a long go!

:d reg. the floppy disks, it really is c*ap!! isnt it? with a small vibration... its not going to read and too much of an installment for the saftety the device assures! sickening device or invention :d

Yes, I think it is correct.
Reg Floppy, I had removed the drive 2 years back. In my office (Govt), it is still used to move files from one machine to other. And it almost never works. But earlier, say 1996-97 period, it used to work most of the time.javascript:emoticon('')
Very Happy

I have been using Intex DVD-R's for abt 6 months now n I feel they r a good option....but I bought them for Rs. 30 each....that is costly....I heard cheaper versions r available but dunno if they ARE reliable....

Verify DATA on DVD writing

hi there ,
I also encountered problems with unbranded DVDs i.e. National 14Rs.
& Princo 20 Rs. .If compared Princo better than National. & For Better SONY is always a good option 65 Rs.
I have LITE-ON 1653 DVD-RW.
& I had observed thing that if we Cross Check the Verify data check on DVD
in NERO(req more 6-8 mins.), then if it gives error then ur DVD was not properly written so there r no chances to recover ur DATA back (I got error in case of newly National with no scatches).If u got no errors then take care as possible as u can to save ur data.
I think for Reliability at least for now SONY is trusted one.However no idea about Moser Baer.
