Anyone know of a good source for DVD media in spindles?

Looking to buy DVD-Rs in spindles. Don't care if it's DVD+R or DVD-R. Just looking for reliable media at a good price.

Price for them in diamond boxes at Office Depot is killing me.

I use them a LOT now for making Ghost images of client's systems for emergency recovery.

Anyone know of a good mailorder source?

Can TigerDirect screw up something? How about this quote from that ad:

"Limited Warranty: 12 months parts; 12 months labor"

Nice warranty on DVD blanks. Hehe....

I think I bought mine at http://www.allmediaoutlet.com

Can't find the receipt off hand.

I'm pretty sure it was the princo DVD-r I bought. All I am burning is movies, and just got it togther so I could author them last week. But I have burned like 12 or more disks now with out problems.
White top, purple bottom.

Princo -rw white top, silver bottom. Haven't had any trouble burning them, but nero quick erase has not been working for me. the disks will act like a blank but a burn will crash after starting. Have to full erase them. Don't know what the problem is.

Cheap disks, and work well for my movies. I burned every thing 1x though. I did try one -r setting nero to 2x but it took as long as a 1x, so I think nero just didn't tell me it dropped back to the slower speed.

I might have only bought 1x disks? No markings at all, just a serial number, and I never tried reading it.
