Also if you live in the UK please post where to buy them.... if you dont then just let me know which ones.

Thanks in advance.

I have used Datawrite ones with no problems, which I buy in a local computer shop for £10 for 25, just try a local independant computer shop.

best thing is to get anything cheap for common burning but the stuff thats really important to you should be put on something a bit higher in quality. hp, verbatum, imation are all good quality.

I swear by Apple's own DVD-R media. It's competetively priced and is very high quality. I've burned over 60 DVD-Rs with them and haven't had a single coaster yet.
