dvd +r and -r prices?

I just got my dual format dvd burner, but it was an oem so it didnt come with any media.

I was checking around for the prcies of dvd media, and they were quite expensive, about 2 to 3 dollars per disc. I was wondering if you all knew of any good places to get dvd media cheaper. I thought it was only like 1 dollar per disc.


Another general question. When I tried to play a dvd on the burner, windows media player said I needed some sort of dvd decoder, but I had to pay like 15 bucks for it.

I know theres gatta be free decoders out there, right?

Take a look at www.google.com/ie
Type in the info your looking for and search.

blank dvd media is pretty expensive, i just saw an ad in sundays paper from best buy or compusa or something they had a 25 pack for $59, thats a bit much IMO but thats me...they should be a back each lol. plus i hear of some media not working with some drives etc etc, much worse than with CDR...a REAL hit and miss kinda thing, maybe i heard wrong.

I found a couple of deals in bestbuy and compusa.

Theres a 25 pack of dvd + r for 50 bucks, and compusa has a 10 pack of -r for 7.99

yeah I ordered some too. the only thing i was suspicious about is the description doesn't actually say 4X but the pic shows it. you never know

Hey, I'm here to help ;)

And yes, they are 4x disks.

Officedepot had buy1 get one free dvd+r or dvd-5 25/pks Memorex
They are all 4x and the +r is good ricoh and the -r cmc

Too get the coupon code look at the advertised specials link on the bottom right of thier page. Theres also a $10 off $50 coupon floating around and they give you free 2nd day shipping

So total for me was $53 shipped

check out www.meritline.com they are very reliable and have good prices on discs. depending on what i am goin to use the disc for makes the difference on the media i use. for my dvd player i use any old decent name brand but for picky lasers i like to use better media like verbatim, memorex, mitsui and the like... happy shopping
