I've had the best luck with the Apple-branded media or the Verbatim stuff.

I'd be willing to bet that Sony brand media would work well, too. But Apple's is really competetively priced.

is itthis hard to use dvd-r on a mac? (i'm not bitching, i just asking)
i'd just like to be able to go to my local store and get some dvd-r, maybe i'll find some sony dvd-r
i could go to compusa but its an hour drive out of the way, i have no car at the moment, and getting a lift is difficult

Apple and Sony media have been solid for me, no bad burns ever. Memorex and TDK have been somewhat spotty, with about 2 bad discs each out of a 10-pack. The Sony media is $11 for 5 discs at Target, and it's made in Austria IIRC. Great stuff when I run out of Apple media.

Woah!  Instead of paying $2.00 a disc, check out DealMac for some better suggestions. I've been finding discs for like 80¢ each. You can have them shipped right to the door. Unless of course you absolutely need a specific brand of media for some reason.

I found the Apple DVD-R is quite good and only $10 for the 5-pack.
I am sure other brand(s) may be cheaper.. but you may not get the case..
