hi, I’m new to DVD recording due to me buying a DVD recorder the other day, my player is capable of recording 14 hours continually of Video, but where do I get the DVD+R or DVD-R discs from capable of recording 14 hours?


Can people provide some Weblinks if possible

P.S. i shop on E-bay mostly

Thanks in Advance

14hrs seems a lot for a DVD, check the manuals to see what types of DVD it can use (DVD+R or DVD-R) if it claims 14hrs per DVD then maybe it accepts Dual Layer (DL) DVD's (DVD+R DL or DVD-R DL)

To record for a longer period of time you need to use Double Layer Discs however it's not that simple.

It can be very difficult to find Double Layer Discs in shops (at least I've not seen many) and even if you do obtain some there's no guarantee that they'll work.
I can only record to Double Layer Discs if I use the slow recording method and that applies to all of the media that I've tried and even then they can fail.

If you really do need Dual Layer Discs you can get them from http://svp.co.uk/ they are very good and customers can leave comments.

Verbatim are claimed to be the best by many users but they are not cheap and as yet I haven't tried them.

If you want to record for this length of time you would have been much better off getting a PVR rather than a DVD recorder as it will be much more convenient and much better quality.

I think people often get a DVDR because they want to "upgrade" from a VCR and think that a DVDR is the next logical step - it usually isn't.

Not sure if I'm reading this right, but seems that you are saying that your new machine is capable of recording for that long, not nessacerally that you want to.

I assume that is on the lowest quality setting of the recorder, which at 14 hours would be a lot worse than VHS LP.

the norm for a blank DVD is 2 hours for single layer disks ( everything doubled for dual layer disks ) but you can lower the quality to get 3 or 4 hours a disk if you really need the extra time. longer recordings than that look pretty bad.


as for where to buy blank disks from
agree with an earler post about SVP. used them for years.

Try these two places. I've used both and found them very competative and efficient.
