Blank DVD media for Intel iMac
Afternoon/Evening All,
I'll be a big boy and admit it, I'm a DVD-R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL, virgin. I'm guessing from what I posted above, that DVD-RW and DVD+RW are similar to CD-RW, in other words, nicely re-writable, which would be perfect for what I want (it's actually a boot CD, so RW would be great as I can update the boot dvd when OS updates are released) Do I want DVD-RW or DVD+RW. From the look of System Profiler the drive is actually ħR/W as it says +RW and -RW), which is better, or does it not matter? So, recommend me some decent media :) |

Any particular brand?

Thanks :) Co-worker of mine suggested that Memorex seem to be pretty good as well.

rambox.co.uk has some very good deals on dvd+r/dvd-r 100 blanks for £20ish

I'm an even bigger fool, I was under the impression the imac was DVD + media only!!

If you're going to play in standalone players, check for the player as a fair few only support one type (mine is JVC and only plays -r)
