Where to buy cheap DVD writeable media?

I got a DVD burner over the holidays and need to get some blank media - the R and RW formats.

Can anyone recommend an inexpensive brand of media and a retailer or on-line merchant that carries it?

I'm used to dirt-cheap CD-R media and the DVD media isn't inexpensive... I've always used Memorex with great success. I'm using a Lite-On 4x DVD burner if it helps.

Thanks.

wait a while to see if they come on sale. those mail in rebates can really cut the cost.

otherwise, check out pricewatch.com

At a local Sams Club over the weekend, my coworker picked up a spindle of 50 DVD-R discs for 60$ (20$ cheaper than anywhere he found online). He was so happy with the deal he bought three spindles.

You didn't specify in your post if you needed + or - media, or if either was acceptable. Any clarification?

Try supermediastore.com they have a good price on 4X Riteks. A spindle of 100 is on sale for $89. The sale page is at http://store.yahoo.com/supermediasto...diacoupon.html I just picked some up and I have ordered from them before with no hassles.

Another place to look at before purchasing any media is http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdmedia They have reviews on every disk imaginable so you can check compatibility with your burner and player before you buy disks that won't work.

Hadn't really considered it. I haven't read the other forum thread about the differences between - and + formats.

I just burned a DVD+R using Nero Recode and it worked well in my home DVD player.

I just bought 50 dvd-r w/no spindle/no case for 1.24ea from <a href="http://www.cyberguys.com"> cyberguys</a>, and shipping was figured into the price per disk.

They also sell <a href="http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/SearchAll.asp?search=cd+cases&child=&curpage=2&ureq=y">these cases</a> which are great for fitting into your notebook case when you are flying somehwere.

EDIT, I was trying to point to the quad cases. They are small and very nice.

I bought a sample pack from http://rima.com/ they seem to have good prices. Spool of 100 ritek (high quality) 4X DVD-Rs for $94, and 100 ritek 4X DVD+Rs for $125 lower quality brands are a lot cheaper/slower (spool of 100 1x princo DVD-Rs is $65)
