i'm going to buy the +R.
so far DVD-R doesn't work out too well on my BenQ DW1620
here's my results with DVD-R. two DVD+R scans for the sake of comparison. you can see why i conclude the drive doesn't like -R
basically i've given up on using DVD-R on this drive, and what stockpile of -R i have i'll keep till i buy my next drive. in the meanwhile i'll use +R. and since i want to keep the TY i have for important stuff (can't get it here, i imported it from the states, it's a pain) i'm looking for some other +R that will work reasonably well.
there's Verbatim which seems to be OK but i want to see if i can get some other stuff that's good.
25 spindle of Verbatim 16x DVD+/-R: 85 shekels = $18 (73cent/disc)
50 spindle of Verbatim 8x DVD+/-R: 158 shekels = $34 (67cent/disc)
25 spindle of Maxell 8x DVD+/-R: 61 shekels = $13 (52cent/disc) so i want to check them out (if they're any good).
