Hi there.

Has anyone tried the Imation printable 16X DVD+R's? If so, hows the write quality?

I saw the same at a shop at a very good price, about $16 for a spindle of 50. Sony normal, not the printable one's, cost around $20.

Thans!

Thanks (^_^)

It looks like we'll finally be able to buy 6x Blu-ray media in October. Prices aren't too bad either. Only $13.99 for a 25GB BD-R disc.

Updates can be downloaded by the program, or from the website dvd.identifier.cdfreaks.com

While I don't think this is the end of Prodisc, they're definitely in big trouble. According to CEN, they're going to be shutting down their optical disc business.
