My main purpose is to back-up my children's DVD's. Also, I travel to and from friends/families houses bringing along my collection of Disney and Pixar films, generally running into 7-9 different DVD players at most. Ranging from $29 Walmart to $500 BOSE players. [Both Old and New!]

I am not looking for a super write speed, because I rather write one perfect quality DVD for 10 hours and not have one coaster, rather then 1 DVD for 10 minutes and have possible glitches. So write speeds, 1x, 2x, 4,x 8x is fine.

Lastly, I am looking for the most compatible DVD+R/-R media that will play on any home DVD Player.


I have researched and found the most generally compatible are the Taiyo Yuden and the Verbatim, but I am not sure. This is only two day's of research, where I normally do 2-4 weeks worth.

Verbatim DVD-R is the most compatible disc out there, your research was fast and effective. Good job.

For more information on the which DVDs are the best to use, and where to find them for the best prices, see the reviews at http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htm and guides at http://www.digitalfaq.com/guides/media
