Can anyone please provide me with recommendations for quality DVD +R disks?
In the past I have been using Ricoh 8x Silver Edition DVD +R, which have been perfect, worked in my DVD recorders, Panasonic and LG, as well as my computer DVD writers flawlessly, not a single failure in 100's of burns.
Unfortunately Ricoh have now stopped producing disks and I'm running low.
All the other versions I've looked at don't seem to have the same quality, so I'm looking for reviews from other members who have used DVD +R disks in their personal DVD recorders and writers.
Many thanks for your input.

I find RiDisc to be very reliable I have never had one of them fail me to date ....

Thankyou for the feedback.
I am currently using Verbatim DVD +RW disks in my LG DVD recorder then tranferring them using my computers DVD writer to old RiDisc and Datsafe DVD -R disks, using Nero in minimum settings.
I can then format the DVD +RW disks and reuse them.
The problem is always the Panasonic DVD Recorder, which is very temperamental with which disks it will accept.
Panasonic help & support will only recommend very expensive disks, so I'll just have to take the gamble.
No disks seem to come close to the quality, and price, of the Ricoh 8x Silver Edition DVD +R disks, but I might try the Verbatim DVD+R 16x (Taiyo Yuden) 50 tub, I'll let you know how I get on.

Thank you for the tip maverick007,
I ended up buying the Verbatim DVD +R, which are a little more expensive but look good quality.
The problem is only time will tell how long the recordings last.
