Looking for an online place that sells reliable DVD-R's 20ish I guess. English is a plus.

i get the local variant of the blank Taiyo-Yuden DVDs (i think i use DVD+Rs though) called Fusion. i usually pick up a spindle of 100 when i'm around Yongsan. there is an underground/basement area right next to Sunin Plaza that has decent selection and prices. i might be able to dig out the URL of the place i get my DVDs from.

Yuden Taiyo are the best brand.

I buy 100 Sony DVD-r's at a time (X16) off the net. 40,000 for a hundred. I've sucessfully burnt about 300 of them. They rarely fail.

Agreed Yuden is best.

I get mine in Yongsan - walk around and you should be able to find a spindle of 50 for around 20,000. The other day my wife ordered CD-rs 50 from Lotte and they came with 50 hard cases. Brand was THATS (alternate name for yuden)

I've used those Fusion yuden discs for quite a while now. Absolutley no coasters. All my burns still work perfectly and they aren't expensive. Like others said 50 pack of 16x for around 20000won

edit
Price!!

I buy Sony, and highly recommend them. I too have burned cheap discs, only to find they quit working 6 months down the road.

Many of the cheap discs are actually the discs that high-level manufacturers reject. Avoid them at all costs.

Go with Sony. I'm gonna try these Yuden disks, too.

I use exclusively Sony CD-Rs and DVD-Rs mainly because I've had only 1 fail ever, and that was my fault vs. the disc's fault, and they're cheap.

I'll try Taiyo-Yuden next, when I run out of the 200 plus blank discs I already have!

Those "Yuden" discs sound a lot like, "Juden."

I'm surprised no one has picked up on that, and tried to get them to change the name or something.

This leads to the question..........How old is your oldest CD-R? Does it still work?

I don't think I have any blank media older than 5 years. It works.

Do I need special software to burn a DVD? I've a burner on my computer but have idea how to use it.
