Never purchase unreliable blank DVD media again (or at all).
DVD optical media, or simply discs, are probably the most widespread form of optical disks in the worldwire circulation right now, easily beating the old geezer Compact Disc from day to day. Thousands of people use DVDs in their everyday life in the DVD players, cameras and gaming consoles. DVDs are widely used to record and store data: backups, family pictures, music archives, movies and games.
But let’s face it, with so many brands of blank dvd makers out in the market, an average consumer like me and you makes a blind purchase 95% of time. We either follow someone’s recommendation, or judge by appearance. We’re uninformed. And then we get bad discs, burn errors, or unreadable discs when they don’t survive the age (yes, that’s easily possible). And the data on these DVDs was valuable, probably.
I’m going to change that, or at least try my best to and minimize the risk of you getting a bad blank DVD 
Over the last several years I’ve tried a handful of blank DVD brands, plus and minus R and RW, different production makes and talked to alot of DVD burning enthusiasts over the internet for opinions. This website is the collection of my blank DVD media reviews, and it’s totally free

Happy blank DVD burning!
A little bit of important information though before you read:
One thing important to remember when buying a blank dvd is that while they might come from a name you trust that doesn’t necessarily mean the quality of all the media produced by that company is the same. Nowadays large brands outsource their production technology to many smaller companies, that’s why the end product: TDK, Sony, Maxell, Vebatim or whatever blank dvds you buy may vary in quality within the same brand’s range.
Pay attention to the country of origin as well as a blank dvd’s (single or pack) product number, which would be wise to look up on the internet prior to the purchase, if possible. Naturally, it would be a good sign in most cases if the country of origin indicated on the black DVD package was Taiwan or Japan, and not so good if it’s United Arab Emirates (UAE) or India.
Useful resources to check out:
If you want to know more about DVD media in general you should check out an appropriate wikipedia page:

If you know a black DVD media’s product number you should use the following service to look it up for potential problems prior to the purchase:
Why is (plus) +R/RW media better than (minus) -R/RW ?
Without spilling too many technical words, I’d like to outline that +R/RW media have an advantage of a more advanced bit error checking and correction, which in cases of long storage or insignificant burning errors could prevent a data loss. For the most end users this wouldn’t do the weather, but if you’re gearing up for long data storage it might be a better idea to go plusR instead of a minus one.
Blank DVD Media Compatibility:
Although, before making a purchase of +R/RW don’t forget to confirm if your device can actually burn it. Nowadays it’s probably not the case, as war of the DVD standards seems to be over, but some older devices can still be able to work with -R or +R only, or might not be able to work with RW discs. Only certain DVD burners can work with the dual layer discs. Some older players were able to work with only one of the either standards as well, but today’s players shouldn’t have this problem at all.
