[MacDV] Buying blank DVDs

[richard]

The Great Quality (GQ) brand has imprintable DVD's which we have 
printed with success on the R300. The caveat is they are not 
certified for video use by Apple, however, we have had some 
success with video, and, of course, data. 

I imagine GQ would be avaialable at Outpost.com, the online store 
owned by Fry's, the California retailer which carries the brand.

Keep in mind burning faster always decreases both 1) archival 
nature and 2) cross brand compatibility regarding DVD video 
playback.

Burning faster is sexier, saves a lot of time, but can become a 
nightmare down the road.
