Dear Forum,
What are some recommended brands and sources of reliable, quality, blank media? I need DVD+R or DVD+RW and live in the USA (west coast). Here's my situation.
I have a stack of Verbatim DVD+R disks I've been using. They were fine at first, but as I got further into the stack, 3 in a row failed me. Although all 3 went through the burn process just fine, when I previewed them (isn't this why we ALWAYS preview before handing over to a client??), this is what I got: first one made funny noises and would not load in either of 2 players I use; second one was fine until the last 3 minutes of the video and then it would not play any further no matter what I did; and the third one played all the way through but gave me hesitations and pixelations throughout. Needless to say, no one can afford to use this kind of quality.
What are recommended brands and sources of this type of blank media with which you have had consistently good experience? I've got more work to turn out over the weekend, so any suggestions would be welcome ASAP.
Thanks very much.
