most burners suck at burning at any speed. so burn @ 2.4x to up your chances. benq used to make great burners but they are no more. it's like liteon burners are the only good option nowadays.

So is it the same price in-store, or you had to do PM first?
Same price. I bought 2.

When I burn these discs using ImgBurn (with a new LG drive), even if I select 2x, the actual write speed is 4x (0 coasters out of 20 good burns in a recent 20 pack singapore 2.4X from neweg 24.99 - 5 (new customer) + CA tax + 0 FS). Using the same setup I had one bad burn (io error, unrecoverable) in a 15 pack of the 8x (singapore purchased at Frys).

Green for OP. Good price and I have a gift card to use up. I'm no BB fan, but a good price is a good price.

As for the speed, I could care less how fast it burns. What's important to me is that it's a quality burn that won't get bit rot prematurely. Take a whole day to burn, I don't care, I can use the computer to do other stuff.

WHHHAAAT? Are you serious? Funny I think I have had one bad burn in the last 1,000 and don't own a Benq or a Liteon...by making a statement like you just did, I would bet on operator error being what caused your burn problems.

$23.99 @ Amazon.com (if you have Prime or fillers to get free shipping)
$24.99 @ Micro Center (in-store pickup or $5.99 shipping, if you just don't like BB)

Thanks! In for 2 on the Newegg deal.

i had burning problems many years ago before I learned about how to do it properly. i found out which burners were the best out and how Yaiyo Yuden 8x premium dvd-r's are the best media to use for single layer and Verbatim is best for dual layer. i used to quality scan all my burns using nero cd-dvd speed. if you burn discs too fast the quality will be poor. they might still be perfectly readable, but they will degrade in time and become unreadable. good quality burns will last much longer. very few burners can burn dual layer well beyond 2.4x. dvd+r/-r's can be burned @8x. Anything faster and you got the same problem. very few can do it well faster than 8x. I know what I'm talking about.

Great deal. Though I'll never understand why putting a white printable coating on these almost doubles the price:
$46.08 for the same discs, in white @ Amazon.com

i'm in tennesee tax is charged with Newegg here. Also i need dl dvd's TODAY. not in three days. Excellent deal for me.

I've never understood that either. A permanent marker will do just fine on a regular one.
