Hi John

I have come in late as I have been off the air for two weeks due to a 
telstra fault with my phone line. They caused it and I had to wait for 
them to fix it.

I buy TDK DVD-R 1-16x speed in bulk packs of 100 printable DVDs. I might 
have 1 or 2 fail in the 100. I use DVDDAO to burn them and it works 
great. I normally burn at 6 or 7x so that my DVD player will not have 
any problems. I also buy TDK CD-R80 printable bulk packs and have about 
the same failure rate. The 100 DVD pack costs $38 at the computer 
markets in Canberra. Can't remember the price of the CDs.

I have used Audio/Data CD-creater by Chris Wohlgemuth for a number of 
years to burn CDs and DVDs without an issue.

regards
Ken
