Page 1 of Blank DVD Disks

I have discovered some good quality disks , that are quite cheap, i have used about 200 so far with NO probs on either p.c or standalone dvd players and writers

"The new Tuffdisc DVD is being marketed as a disc that is stronger than other discs the extra strength being attributed to an extra layer applied to the top surface to protect it."

{DV 3197} Tuffdisc (8x) Overprints DVD-R and DVD+ R Spindle Tubs of 100


anyone else used this brand and if you have whats your opinion of them ?

How strong do they need to be ? I haven`t broken any of my normal discs ;)

The extra layer comes from them being Overprints which is a disc that has a defect on the original surface and is re coated over the top which is IMO a sub standard disc.

You may also notice fingerprints and or scratches on them as they have been handled a few times during the process.

i guess it depends how often you use the disks and how much "wear and tear" they will get.the dye looks fine,the disks seem sturdy enough,and they are both 4 and 8 speed

as for the disks i have checked them prior to and after recording and have not found any blemishes so far but for the low price they are, on a spindle i can accept a few losses , after all i don`t think not even the "best" quality disks (that you can pay about 3 to 4 times more for) can be 100% perfect all the time

You dont work for Tuffdisc DVD by any chance to you?? >:(

Sorry Wayne but you are wrong about them being over-prints of faulty or defective discs. It`s true they are over printed but with a highly resilient and scratch resistent pebbledash coating which literally does make `em tough, up to 40 times tougher in fact than those non finished with this coating; it also makes them almost impervious to UV, and most certainly attracts a lot less harmful dust (which does get on the lens of your recorder/player and builds up)

If you have had fingerprints on the ones you have bought also, I suggest you change supplier

I stand corrected :)
