Cheapest site for buying dvd-r

Pangea

Hey there ,just wondering if anyone knows cheap sites for buying dvd-r ,
I use aldi dvd-r but aldi is long way away from me, aldis discs are brillant, i hope i can find a site that has discs as cheap and as reliable as aldis.

Please and Thanks.

I use www.svp.co.uk, now their postage is expensive, but if you buy in bulk they are reasonably cheap, some Irish alternatives are www.discs.ie or www.justmedia.ie, but dont have anywhere near as big a selection

great thank you, by the way ,what discs do you use ? brand etc.?

WWW.Disc.ie are excellent, fast service and fixed price postage, I generally use their Ritek brand but last time i got Maxwell to try and very pleased. Service is generally 3 day delivery and I normally order for a mate at the same time to save on postage.

I tend to buy Tayio Yuden discs now, As the CMC mags and other cheaper brands I have found over time do deteriorate, although a bit more expensive they are better quality than most others, Verbatim discs are good aswell

Try avoid the infiniti ones, there CMC Mags, I got a bunch of them a few years ago and the quality was poor, the Mirror discs might be worth trying on that site, but I'm not sure as never used that brand before

Basicly explained here, while some CMC Mag discs are good quality, the problem is quality control associated with those discs can vary widely, making a certain brand of CMC mag discs excellent, to another which is poor. I have noticed discs which played fine in the past (CMC Mag media), over time playing them the video freezes, pixelises etc... This is a common fault with cheaper media, that site I linked is possibly the best source for finding out detailed info about this

I never tried them , i wish they would do boxes of 25 because 10 is not enough lol, I used to say that if bundles worked out at 50 cent a disc then it was good value ,until aldi changed their price to 7 50 or something for 20 discs , now thats good value :eek:

I would go with madmik's suggestion and get the 50 Verbatim discs for €20, thats excellent value
