I have tried every type of media with my powerbook 1Ghz supperdrive and the only media I have had consistant luck with is the Apple Media. I have had intermitant success with other high end brands like Maxell and no success with Ritek. My question is where if any place can i buy Apple DVD-R media in bulk of say around 100 or more dvds? I am tired of buying 5 packs for $15 when I can buy Maxell for $1.15 in bulk online. Any help would be appriciated.

Have you tried TDK? The one TDK I've tried so far worked where 5 Apple branded discs failed. This is on a 12" PB.

I have tried two Maxell DVD-R discs that I bought at Frys for $10 each and they both worked just fine. I have no luck with Ritek or Princo and 5 of 5 good burns with Apple DVD-R that I have pickd up at Fry's. I ordered bulk Maxell media from Meritline and i get about 1/3 good burns out of that media. It is no branded but the bottoms look like the Maxell media that I bought at Fry's. I don't want to pay $3 a disc for the Apple Media. I spoke to Apple and told them that I am not getting consistant burn rates and that I am not happy with the situation. The person I spoke to escilated my case to an engineer who instructed me to send my powerbook into apple to have a diagnostic done on it. He said they will test it for conistancy and in usual circumstance if the drive burns with reliability they simply sent it back. He said with my case he will have the whole drive replaced even if they get reliable result on apple media. Now that I have had several succusful burns on the Apple media I don't know if it is worth sending the laptop back to apple. Any one have some valuable input on this? If I could find a reliable place to pick up Apple DVD-r Media in bulk I think that would be an ok situation.

I just finished burning 100 copies of a DVD for my companies Annual Awards banquet. I bought a branded call BMI from zones, 50 for 44,95. Of those, I only had one bad burn. Heres a link
