I don't use DL when trading, I always copy some of the VOB files to 1 DVD5 and the rest to second DVD5, it was always possible to make this deal with the other side. DL are about 9 times more expensive than DVD5s so altough this is a bit unfair for the other side, it's still more fair than DL for 2DVD5s. depends on how much stuff are you trading, maybe if you wanna trade just a few DLs, 3DVD5 for 1DL show would be more fair.

trading DLs is always weird anyway...

when im trading i trade 1 show for 1 show regardless of format, b&p is totally different argument but when im trading its 1 show for 1 show, right now i can get 10x dvd9s for ?15 which isnt too bad

You're talking about this one, Bandita, right? http://www.vso-software.fr/index.php?lang=en

I've got version 3.0. Just burned Dublin and it rocks!

Ritek/ Ridata always works great for me. Check out that site: http://www.nierle.com/, 18.99 euros for 10 DLs. Not too bad.

Yes, that is the version I used.

Memorex is actually Ritek repackaged or so I read on Amazon.

I am having hit and miss results.  Dublin and Birmingham burned fine but now I am having issues burning Download.

I'm using Phillips (2 euros) or Verbatim (2.4 euros).

My regular dvd's at the moment are TDK or Taiyo Yuden* which cost 0.38 euros.


*Taiyo Yuden made the first recordable CD-R back in 1988. Great products. And most important, MADE IN JAPAN...

my disks are being hit and miss as well, more miss than hit really.

not too fussed though, got the discs pretty cheap.

Who is this guy who is so affluent to tape all these shows over so many years?

Thanks, whoever you are, but who are you, they?

[cotis]

I use Sony DVD9s. Never had 1 coaster yet, and I don't expect to. Got them fairly cheap. 25 discs for about $37 USD (on sale).

MAKE SURE YOU BURN AT 2.4x (THE LOWEST SPEED)!!

They could be fakes... Sony dvd9's that cheap sound a bit strange to me...

not neccessarily to be fakes, it could be the same situation as about Verbatim dvds - simply not verbatim like verbatim, there are verbatims with MCC or TY surface (these are the best), or with cheap surfaces like CMC or worse. the best is to check one disc in some information program, like Nero Infotool or VSO Inspector. it will tell you what brand of surface does the disc have. I know, too bad to say when you need to buy one and you can't check it...

Well, we usually know that when the dvd's are more expensive than the rest, they're the good ones...

[kaasupoltin]

But can you really tell the difference between a cheaper DVD and a more expensive one?

[Christos AG]

Well, actually you can if you use these infotools...

Taiyo Yuden's are of the best quality...

Verbatim's as well.

Ritek... NOT...

[Will]

Never had a coaster with Ritek, and I've been buying them for about 5 years. They're solid over the years too.

[Christos AG]

Ritek and Ridata are different, my mistake.

Same company but different quality. Ritek are good, Ridata not.

They were on sale. I think the original price was about $60. And they were bought from Staples (a United States office supply store) and they usually have sales (got 100 Sony DVD5s for $25).

[wadey]

i saw some, also in staples (a uk office supply store  ) cant remember how much but they were on sale

When I checked the media on my computer the Memorex DL's I bought say Ritek.  I made 3 coasters so far trying to burn on them.  Grr!  I will try Sony next time, I used their regular DVDRs and never had an issue with them.
