What are the best blank disks and blank dvds you can buy?

This is a very popular question! And the short answer is we don't know! It seems as soon as we make up our minds it's one brand a year later or in another state of Australia the batch is bad and so therefore the disks have a high percentage fail rate and high corrupt disk rate.

So is there any real tips on buying blank dvds and blank disks?

It's very common to buy a stack of ten or stack of 50 blank dvds and have 2,3 or maybe 5 or more that just stuff up when you go to finalise your disk, burn information or straight off the get go - the blank dvd just does not work.

We have seen some brands where 90% of the disks cause problems. Without getting technical the recorder you have does make a difference. 

  • If you are having problems try another brand - don't lose your cool 
  • If you can, record stuff to a Hard drive first then burn it to disk afterwards - This will save you losing your recording if the disk fails. If the disk fails, because the recorded material is on your HDD (Hard-drive) you can have another shot at copying it over to the disk.
  • Even the pros get frustrated with DVD recording! A batch of disks depending on brand, your recorder is good for one season and not the next!
  • Familiarise yourself with your recorder - knowing how it functions with timing, and it's inner process can determine a successful finalization and so forth
  • Be sure to finalise your disk so that it is compatible with other dvd players

How much will it cost..?

How much will it cost to Fix my TV reception? Sometimes there is a cheap fix, other times there is a risk of doing it cheap and it will cost more in the long run. Sometimes it has been done that badly in the first place that it's going to cost more to erectify an old system than it's going to just install a brand new one from scratch. Sometimes, the old gear is that old that the whole lot just needs replacing. In the end, the tv reception signals need to comply to certain requirements or it's just not going to work. These requirements are described as per the requirements of Digital Broadcasting Australia (DBA) authorities. If these are not complied with - your tv reception will be no better off. Also, having too much signal can cause bad tv reception as well!
