Default Staples: Memorex DVD +/-R 50pk $12.98
On sale in their flyer.

That's $26 for 100.

Are these any good? Is there something better out there for comparative prices right now?

Thx.

BTW - which is better in general....+R or -R for recording from a DVD recorder. My machine can use either.

Sorry...what does "valueline" mean. Is it just packaging?

As well the Taiyo's are 8x and the Memorex are 16x

Value Line is the equivilant of Taiyo Yuden's B Grade media. It's not just packaging.

Also, Taiyo Yuden's 8x media is far FAR better in terms of compatability and initial burn quality to most of Memorex's product. Unfortunately, value line media is often 16x Taiyo Yuden downgraded to 8x in order to perform better, and Taiyo Yuden's 16x media is rather crappy in comparison to their 8x media.

I would have opted for this if only it was DVD+R as my primary use would be in a Standalone DVD Recorder which supports both DVD+R and DVD-R but DVD+R is always preferred and better.

You consider "TY" (Taiyo Yuden) no-name And you consider Memorex/Fujifilm "name-brand" ?? I think you definitely need to read up some DD's threads ...

Unfortunately, DVD media is not something that you can buy/trust simply based on the "brands" ...

Try to run DVD Identifier on your "name brand" discs and you may be surprised by the fact that many "name brands" do not make their own discs ...

Yeah, it's pretty rare for a "name brand" disc to make their media anymore. Right now, "name brand" DVD media is mostly ok at best. Why? because they can't make money on it, so they don't make effort to get good media anymore. Luckily Maxell does make some higher end media themselves still, like their BQ series.
