Which DVD-R should I buy for highest compatibility |
|
|
I send out DVD-Rs for demos for my company. Up until now, the
occasional call saying that the DVD didn't work wasn't a big deal.
They would sometimes send them back for me and they worked on my
player. I assume it was just compatibility. Now I'm sending out more
important material and don't want to risk them not working.
I had been buying cheap DVD-R media for about .30/ea. They were all
silver top (no lable at all, so I can screen or thermal label them)
Are all DVD-R the same? What / where should I buy DVD-R to decrease
the chances that they aren't compatible with certain players?

It would REALLY help to know your make/model DVD Writer.
DVD-R media are NOT all the same.Check your DVD-Writer's manual.It
usually lists smomewhere the supported media.
DVD media is in the period of you-get-what-you-pay-for.In general you
can't go wrong with Taiyo Yuden (ty) DVD media.However,because TY is a
well known name,there are counterfeits.Depending on where you live try:
http://www.cddimensions.com/cd-r_media/dvd-media.asp (east coast)
Or
http://www.supermediastore.com/dvdmedia.html (west coast)
Do not be swayed by adverts re low cost media.For "important" DVD work go
with TY.Remember....you get what you pay for.
