just found out that one of my Platinum DVD-R + disc's dead

Emperor

I mean what the hell, there were six nice flicks on it, but when i pop it in my standalone or in my PC it doesn't load anything

Bummer i can see some wears on the disc though

Not that there are any scratches but you can see some color changes on one spot. Seems that de data layer didn't hold or something.

Another thing is that i run out of Blank DVD-R's so i need to buy some new ones, any of you know a good and decent brand??
I will not purchase PLATINUM discs for somewhat they suck

I got a NEC 2500 A burner +/-

Well now i have to start allover downloading these flicks :matrix:

im off.............................

You could check http://www.yesbuy.net

It's all Generic, so it's cheap, but if you don't mind burning at a slow rate...
The blank CD's they sell work for me when I burn em at 24X.

Datawrite are the best performance to price, greytops, G05 (-R)

Do NOT buy +r, they are just more expensive with little point and absolutely no improvement

but they aren't worse, right. cause here they're cheaper and they can be burned 8x. i haven't seen -R that can be burned faster than 4x yet.

well i've burnt both fine and my reader takes them.

But I'm really surprised that they are faster and cheaper! Amazed infact, take a look here:

Another nice store for the europeans. In right corner you can switch to your own language. Good prices and they have a large assortment.
