    I've had much better luck with -R than +R, and I order Verbatim printable discs through Taperesources.com

    i dunno about printables, but for any disc, i would definitely go for sony or imation, they make the best. a little more pricey, but i think its overall worth ur trouble.

    i used to only buy memorex because i was very skeptical of other brands, but i've been very happy with verbatim.

    thanks so much for the responses i really didnt know in the ways of - + was the thing........ i know my brands alright, i went to see the tech specs of the ibook on the apple site once again.... and it said what speed and type works with them "DUH I SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE" lol Silly me.



    bought a pack of 30 maxells for $14 dollars at the local wal mart have made 4 dvd movies so far NO hitch except with a buggy clip i had which would rear its ugly head in IDvD thanks again.
