What media to buy for best quality

I need to burn a dual layer disc with about 9 GBs of stuff on it. Could you please recommend a good brand of disc. My boss bought me a really generic one. I want to do better. It also is not big enough!

Thanks

The 3 brands most often recommenden at this forum are Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, and Ritek. However, DL discs will hold only 8.5 G at the most.

I read that there are DVD 10 and others that hold more! Is that not correct?

Thanks. We sent my DVD Studio file out to be burned to disc. We will see what we get back!

Susan, I hate to be the bearer of bad news (perhaps), but unless you asked the folks to maintain original quality, they may just reduce your DVDSP file to a file size that can fit on a regular DVD, greatly reducing the quality.

Yes. After hearing what you said. I assumed they would have to do some compressing of files. We are going to get a master to check before they go ahead and Master it. So we will be able to have some imput on the quality.

I really appreciate your concern. Thanks for the good information. Next year when I do this again, I hope to be able to compress the files better on the FCP side of things. This year Compressor was not working properly and I don't have a DL burner!

My boss decided not to upgrade my machine. I told him this would happen but you probably know how that goes.
