Hi, I was browsing Ebay UK, and come across a few brands like Maxwell, Philips, TDK, DataSafe, TuffDisk. Which are good brands you would suggest I should look for?

 

Edit: I found a few - Any good?:

TDK is a reliable brand.



Anything else? If not, I'll go with the TDK.

I've never had any problems with Maxell, Sony or Verbatim.

I have been using Verbatim exclusively for the last 4 years. No problems with either DVD+R (4.7GB) or DVD+R DL (8.5GB).

Verbatim is a great brand. i have burned thousands of dvd and i would say that they are the best but expensive.

i recently switched to ridata from newegg and they have been great and cheep. i have used them for at least a year now and have had a few problems with data retrieval but i am not sure that it was the media at fault.

remember that the burner you use has a lot to do with reliability, not just the media.
