have a blank DVD-R. So I guess we have to
wait till I get paid before I can get some
then we can pick this up again.

Is there a brand you would recommend and size?

Thanks,

Verbatim brand are usually pretty good. Maxell were
good. Fujitsu were good. But the last two have
disappeared from places like Staples. Staples started
stocking Staples-brand, and then we have no idea
what supplier makes the discs.

Remembering that, most brands, are not made by the
named companies. They just buy lots of blank discs
from suppliers and put a fancy cake-box around them.

I have some Ritek-branded cake boxes I can get here,
but they're mail-order only and they don't keep them
in the stores. Ritek did not market directly to consumers
at one time, but it's a sign of how desperate the
industry is, when a manufacturer actually puts their
own name on the cake box. When Ritek first appeared
in the store here, a stack of blanks were wrapped
in Saran Wrap :-) It's hard to say in a case like
that, exactly who was wrapping them that way :-)

At one time, my computer store had 3 cubic yards of
blanks on display, a huge brand selection. Today,
it's maybe 0.5 cubic meters and crap like Philips.
Philips of course, not actually making the discs,
and they turned out to be CMC discs.
