I am thinking of buying some dual layer DVDs for archiving purpose if they are reasonably priced. Last time I checked they were around Rs. 120-130 for Moser Bear brand. Is there any other brand available which is around 60-70 or less:)?

If you are backing up something important, go for the following DVD+R manufacturers (In that order):

Sony / Imation / Moserbaer.
150-130 / 120-100 / 100-90

If no important data, you can go for the local ones available from Rs. 70-90.

Pirated maal DVD+-R = Rs 15~25 (they work well).

I guess he is asking for Dual Layer DVD's. The one that you have mentioned are DVD+R or DVD-R. I think the least we can get a dual layer DVD maybe Rs 70. I don't think we can get a dual layer DVD anything less than that.

I have never purchased. BTW, there may be many such stores in Pune city. I live in PCMC.

There is a engineer named Rishi somewhere near INOX. Just ask some people there. He services old, new PCs. He may have a stock. My PC was bought from him. He also deals with brand new PCs.

@suyashpandit
I also want to know which city you are from? It is really great price for DL-DVD and that is what it should really cost. Not something like Rs.120 :(

^^ Well, I had bought one 7 months ago for Rs.70.....And still here it is 70......:!:
Dude can you tell me the place from where you bought it? What brand is it? How many did you buy? Were they durable? Why are Dual layer DVD's so expensive as compared to single layer? Any specific brand that I should look for?

it's around 120, i guess!

Which brand and from which location?

Well, the brand was Imation.....I had bought from a stationery shop near my house in Gurgaon.

May be, they're expensive because their manufacturing cost is a bit high and also they're giving double the capacity of single-layer DVD. The writing speed was slow.....So, I still prefer the normal single layer DVD.

You can consider Moserbaer......It is good.....

Anyways, but I still buy single layer DVDs because here I can get them for Rs.20 and also the writing speed is higher.

Well I have couple of movies which are of size more than 5 GB somewhere around 7 GB so that is why I need to buy a dual layer DVD. If these are very expensive and the ones which are not reliable then I guess I need to split the movie into two DVD5 which I would not prefer.

Anyways thanks for your help!
