blank media

I went out to buy blank DVDs and I discovered that the technology is one huge clusterfuck. My new DVD recorder handles most of the popular disc-types, but only at certain speeds (e.g. anything over 8x doesn't work too well), so here I am in Target trying to get my discs and help out this other dude who wants to record DVDs with a CD-R drive (you can't).

I finally settled on Sony DVD+R discs that were somewhat overpriced but yet still cheaper than videotapes, after making a trip over to Best Buy to get some technical reassurance that the cheaper 16x DVD+Rs would in fact not work and realizing Best Buy's blank DVDs are a bit of a rip-off.
