starting TODAY, FS will be selling their Fujifilm 3-pk DVD+R Dual Layer discs for $4, reg. price $15...

FS ($4): Fujifilm 3-Pack 8.5GB DVD+R Dual Layer (http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10063692&catid=12501)

think this is the cheapest either of FS/BB have sold them for thus far....



but wait!... BB has 'em for $15, so go PM for ~$2.90 + tax :D

BB ($15): Fujifilm 8.5GB Dual Layer DVD+R Media (http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10063692&catid=20032)



IIRC, these are Riteks... definitely not the quality media you want, but it's pretty cheap for a lil < $1/DL disc (assuming you're PMing at FS)

I know it is bad, but how bad is it? Would having a burner more compatible with the media helps?

Ritek = bad in general

period :P


i'd doubt there are many, if any, "compatible" burner(s) out there that can get you better burn quality...

I think The Digital Dolphin mentioned Lite On burners could burn these successfully.

nah, leave this crap alone. Even it burns successfully, it's still unknown if other players/drive can read it at all.

I have Pioneer 111D burner.
Hlf the ones from the previous sale that I bought turned into coasters
I definitely would not buy again
