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?

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

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._______________

Dec 14th, 2006 01:42 PM #7I 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.

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.
