Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden > Prodisc, Linkyo, Fuji

5/3/2005 11:26:07 PM

the price difference is not worth it to me...i don't care about the brand until i burn a bad disc...so until that day i will save my money and you can stick with your more expensive name brands...

and my link doesn't require any codes or mail in rebates...

two of those name-brand deals end up being cheaper than your shit-brand deal

and who cares about codes or rebates? codes are instant and rebates don't take that long. one time i actually received a Verbatim rebate before i got the credit card bill. unexpected but nice.

i'm only posting options. anybody that is looking for deals can make their own choices.

i will save my money roughly spend the same amount as you and you can stick with your more expensive better quality name brands

you are only counting 100 dvds though...not 120...so two of those deals may not be cheaper

lol...it's all good though...whatever works for ya

5/4/2005 12:09:27 AM

is it too much to ask to just get a good deal on verbatim disks without having to do all that mail in rebate stuff...i just wanna get a good price without all the hassel

5/5/2005 5:11:37 AM

is it too much to ask to spell "hassle" properly?

office depot:
Maxell DVD+/-R Media 50-PK $17.99 (no rebates) - online or B&M


newegg.com:
verbatim DVD+R 100pk $26.99 (after $30 mail-in rebate) - free shipping

newegg likes to fluctuate prices and shipping so it may not be exactly the same in a few days

damn that's cheap

5/15/2005 7:53:18 PM

yeah im burnin some now, the ad says 4x but im doin 8x and they are stapped 8x.

5/15/2005 8:06:19 PM

5/15/2005 11:54:18 PM

5/16/2005 12:02:02 AM

yeah thats the only thing i was wondering

i saw that the 7.94 price was online with a 5 dollar coupon code...well if i go in store will i get the 7.94 price or is it just online not B&M



^woah dude thanks, thats the shit...how much does it come to now...(i'll do the math right quick)

[Edited on May 16, 2005 at 12:06 AM. Reason : afds]

[Edited on May 16, 2005 at 12:07 AM. Reason : comes to around 7.5 after tax or so]

5/16/2005 12:05:44 AM

$7.94 is the in-store price also


and 12% of "not much" is ........ not much haha

but it will cover tax and a little more

5/16/2005 12:17:21 AM

Can anyone tell me what media code those are from Staples? I'm mainly interested in the DVD+R's. Thanks.

i'm pretty sure thats it...hey man i got my dvd burner working on the new motherboard...i can burn and encode in like 30 minutes now

5/16/2005 1:36:11 AM

probably CMC MAG.E01 for the DVD+R's

maybe someone that bought some can confirm that

sweet deal, just remember that will vary greatly depending on the DVD you're encoding.

Quote :

"They're 8x with a CMC MAG-E01 media code."

I'f that's the case I'll pass on these. Hope it works out for everyone else. My burner's picky with media and hates CMC's.

5/16/2005 11:12:27 AM

What's the big deal about a 'media code'?

5/16/2005 1:01:13 PM

it tells you which manufacturer really made the disc

5/16/2005 1:44:52 PM

I just picked up a spindle of the 50 DVD-Rs at the Staples in Cary. They're $7.94 and 8x. I don't see any kind of media code on the package though, but it doesn't really concern me. The only number I see is "#DMRPK508GL-US" above the barcode.

5/16/2005 6:10:38 PM

it won't be on the package. use something like DVD Identifier to find the media code. if you have Nero or Plextools, you can also use those to find the media code.

5/16/2005 10:45:01 PM

good media really makes a difference.

i have a picky all region dvd player. i used prodisc+r's exclusively for a while now and some discs skip or stop playing alltogether (not all).

i've since switched over the MCC or TY discs and have had no problems whatsoever.

the prodiscs have since been moved over to data duty.

too bad though, since they have a no ring printable face and all.

bestbuy:

Verbatim 25-Pack 16x DVD+/-R $9.99 (no rebates) - online or B&M

5/22/2005 11:44:37 PM

i've burnt 30 of my promedia dvd-rs (120 for $38) and they are all perfect...

so i still haven't had a bad dvd buying the "bargain brands"

5/23/2005 2:09:33 PM

im a little worried about those maxells i bought on special -- the very outside top of the discs doesn't look so hot... looks as if it might deteriorate in a yr

-ZiP!-

5/23/2005 9:28:27 PM

^ Maxell makes some good stuff if the media code sys Maxell (from what I've read and my own experience). In any case you shouldn't have to worry about the condition of the top layer. Unlike CD's where the data is right below the top layer and prone to scratches, DVD's have the data layer sandwiched evenly between the plastic so it's safely kept from scratches. So I wouldn't worry about the top layer fading.

5/23/2005 11:15:31 PM

I got some of those Maxells and didn't have that problem. FYI, they produced good results at 12X even though I don't normally burn at that speed.

5/24/2005 12:26:00 AM

bttt...any good deals on CD-Rs?

6/6/2005 4:28:25 PM

Are there any good deals anywhere? I am about to run out of my media. Also, I need some of the thin jewel cases too.

7/5/2005 1:24:22 PM

I just need to get some cd-R's...

7/5/2005 4:26:16 PM

That one expired already .

What place online always has good prices on good media, I don't necessarily have to have it for free.

And, the 8x NEC DVD burners, can they be flashed to 16x?

7/6/2005 9:57:28 AM

Verbatims are my brand of choice. I have used many different ones, but those tend to write the best, so when I do movies and things like that, that I want to keep, I use Verbatims.

Sams usually has sells of Verbatims every now and then. Sams card = best thing ever!

7/6/2005 10:14:12 AM

the staples 50 packs are still 7.94

7/6/2005 10:27:22 AM
