DVD + R DL prices

[russian rocket]

cost of blank DVD + R DL does not seem to be falling the way one would expect.

They seem to cost the same now they did 6 months ago (verbatim 1-=£20 approx)

The cynic in me would say the entertainment industry has got at them somehow

whats going on?

Any help?

I used to use Verbatim , but now I use Intenso dual layer from Apremedia, and they are cheap (£1.17 each inc)and reliable.

slightly off the topic... but I have a DVD recorder sat in a draw waiting to go in a PC - is there any way to tell if it's DVD+ or DVD- without having any of the documentation?! I know the last time I tried to use it I bought the wrong ones, but blowed if I can remember which it was

I personally had nothing but trouble with those two makes and Ridisks too.

Verbs are my preferred choice, the others were picked at random from their list.
Since upgrading my (NEC) drives firmware I haven't had issues with any brand

I know it's an NEC, but the sticker with the model number on it is damaged so not sure!
