I'm looking to buy a spindle (if it's economical at all) of either dual layer DVD+R or DVD-R discs. I was wondering if anybody could recommend me discs based on longevity (as best as we can tell right now anyway) and relatively compatibility (in terms of computer DVD drives, not DVD players). Also, the cheaper the better. Speed is not an issue. I don't care if they're only rated at 1x so long as they're good at it. Anyone have suggestions?

From all that I've read, use only Verbatim DVD+R DL discs. I've used those exclusively (having burned about 100+ discs so far without any errors). Stay away from all other brands, and by all means NEVER USE ANY DVD-R DL. They'll create errors for you every single time.

Cool, I made a similar post of this at CDfreaks.com and they're saying the same thing. They only mentioned Verbatim though and not the +/- distinction. Thanks for the feedback.

If you live in the U.S. the Verbatim DVD+R DL discs are on sale for $18 for a 10-pack at OfficeMax. Absolutely as cheap as I have seen them!

Sam's Club also carries Verbatim media, but I haven't been in months so I don't know if they carry DL media yet (they didn't last time I looked). They do have a 100-pack of +R for $40, quite a good deal for premium media.
