Missing link?
I don't know much about dual-layer discs but have heard that verbatims are good. Not sure why this is so cold unless they are cheaper elsewhere.
But not everybody can get away with using aones, especially since they recently changed their dye and called them aones plus which are notoriously pap.
You can try Elites from SVP, seem to work.
These are by far the most robust, seem to work first time everytime and the this is the best price I have seen for them.
I imagine it's cold because trigger happytmuppets who have no idea what DL disks are, are getting their gruppy little mits on the mouse button.

Just ordered 50 Elites from there, something like £11 for 50 so will see how we go. Lot cheaper than Verbs so fingers crossed :)
Hit and miss for me, the first 50 nor clone cd or imgburn could even read the dye specification from the disk from the first half a dozen in the spindle so SVP just sent me a new batch.
Since I had two batches then I tried some from the middle of the spindle, a few have worked properly, a few have burned and failed verification at the layer break and others are back to the not reading dye problem.
For £16 delivered you can't really complain, even if 50% work.
For real results verbs are the way to go but like many people say, you can afford to buy a lot of Elites and / or aones and chuck half out for the money of verbs.

Cheers for the heads up :)
Classic example of somebody who doesn't have a clue!
Even if 25 of them fail burning your still quids up.. but itsthe hassle factor i guess..

False economy
25 verbs = 25 quality burns)MIS MKM-001-00 (03) 25 from 50 and (see below) what quality and for how long till you have to re burn buy new gear etc
You really need to scan the Ricoh disc's to make sure of burn. In the same way as writing finishes without warning does not mean it's readable until verified.
Burning a disc and then having parity outer failures means the data is useless, high PI and PIF indicate poor quality burn and jitter correction re-reading is occurring in your hardware , wearing out the mechanics quicker than needed. Granted a lot more money when £285 *which is what I paid for my Sony a long time ago, which is still working fine) for a Sony dvd writer and now they are so cheap but still why break something sooner than needs be.
I have well over 40 dvd writers and lots of all types of Media / dye / disc's and lot's of burns to compare with and some cheap disc's can give better results than expected but you need to be testing them to say if that is true, rather than just assuming co's it wrote it's fine, there is a bit more science to it than that.
So everyone voted cold eh.
Mind you If these disc's are Made In India and are a poor batch or they are from China and a poor batch I would have voted Cold *If I had bought them wrote and scanned them and quality rating of 80% or less.
As generally speaking Verbatim, Made In Singapore has a higher Quality Manufacturing process than the ones from MBI plant in India or from China.
Things change all the time though
I do hope those using Aones etc verify the media after you write to it... A successful burn doesn't mean the data can be successfully read back. Most badly made DLs fail at the layerbreak. Verbatims are the weapon of choice. A little over a quid per disc - no argument really.
Can someone explain why this is so cold? Although if you're going to say you're too cheap to buy good quality media, don't bother !

The Singapore discs are difficult to get hold of at the moment. The last batch I bought were from India and I was sceptical but they are fine. I guess they've got their act together now.
Shame about the cold votes and since noone has posted a cheaper deal I can only assume they don't know about Vebs and DL discs in general.
Most people probably think 25 DVDs for £25. Rip off :whistling:
