Gaming What white top DVDs are best that i can buy in the UK?

[zeegy]

Hello all, and a happy xmas to you!

I am in the UK, and am having a right nightmare trying to find discs that play happily on my wii with a printable surface on top.


Just tried a batch of Aone Disks, and even though they work - they cause the wii to crash during heavy load. usually movies, or when playing 2+ player games.

However, my silver top Asda games, seems to run like a gem.

Can anyone reccomend me some white top disks that will work fine with my wii. ideally with links to trusted e-companies / local store names if available.

Many thanks

So verbatim are good printable discs to use for the wii then? ive never had any good experiences with them with my older consoles (pre-wii)

You will find few around here who will knock Verbatim media for use in consoles (notoriously picky devices) as well.

I recommend Verbatim media
I have no problem at all with Verbatim dvd-r so far anyway

I recomend ritek G05 white or silver top full face, last batch of 50 I used were traxdata ritek G05 white top and had 2 failures and the wii games run just fine, I have over 200 games using these disks, you can get 50 dvd's for about £8

sorry typo Used, I buy my disc in batches of 50 and are ritek G05 dye, and some are made by traxdata, I have always been dubious about them but the disc work and for £8 for 50 discs cant complain and they work, somtimes might get 1 or 2 fail but overall they work and thats what I recommend

datawrite mach4's are good but not white top Imgburn say's there: Manufacturer ID: CMC MAG. AM3

jetplay are good also if you can get them Imgburn say's there: Manufacturer ID: TYG02

use both for games, data and video without problems

poundland, they usually have packs of 3 printable dvd-r's for (you guessed it) £1.

If you are spending any more than that then you are resigned to a life of fail. I have had many expensive brands fail on me before, whereas all blank media i've bought from poundland has always worked.

One time when doing some recording in a studio, trying to bounce some tracks to a standalone cd writer unit, the only media it would 100% always work with was poundland media. Says a lot really.

like me go for the cheaper the better pay about £0.15 per disk never had a problem could be to do with make burner installed also

Makes no sense paying £0.33 per disks from poundland, you can get Verbatim for less than that.

 

[Am0s]

24 dvd's from pound land for £8 or 50 ritek for £8 I know which is the better deal there

verbatims never had 1 problem with them dunno what the prices are in uk but you can get 50 of them real cheap.

I got a 100pk of Verbatims at OfficeMax for a record-breaking $20 (that's around 12 UK pounds). Unfortunately, they bumped the price back up to $60.

Anyway, I suggest Verbatims. They're high quality and reliable. Every disc I've burned so far using Verbatims has worked perfectly.
