best blank DVD to buy

[New2Holden]

I am burning photos to DVD and would appreciate your thoughts on the best blank DVD for this purpose. The reason I ask is that my parents only have a cheapy DVD player and not all disks will play in it. The disks play perfectly in my player but not in my parents. I have bought -R which I am told play in more machines as opposed to +R which give better reproduction but play in less machines. I am using NERO as my burning software. Any thoughts please?

ritek or ridata are a universal dvd disc works in just about anything,next best thing is princo.
my mothers dvd player is like what you have explained,i have found TDK works well in hers,but they can be expensive if you buy in spindles...

Actually, best brand of writable media is prolly Taiyo Yuden... Just hard to find at most places...
It should work in most DVD players... but that all comes down to the firmware in the actual DVD unit

this forum is a really good place if you want info like this, and this particuluar thread has a few of the better "versions" of the discs listed, but overall all brands listed there are good

Also, if you ask I'm sure they'd be able to verify what discs should work in what player

Basically your after the brands in the "Higher Quality" section Should all work ok... but as I said earlier, it'll come down to your parents player

If you can find them, Maxdata. Otherwise Ritek.

haha naah, I think that was a batch of fake discs Made by stupid "disc pirates" or whatever you call them lol
The site in my first post would have info on that somewhere

Go Verbatim.

Verbatim have many different categories of quality.
go the Datalifeplus quality and you shouldn't have any problems.
I think verbatim even have a lifetime warranty on the datalifeplus range of disks.
