Hi again,
I found a decent deal on 50 Memorex DVD+R discs at Best Buy for $50. I bought them but haven't opened them yet because I wanted to know if anyone has used them with the new PB's superdrive. Do they burn fine with Toast or even through Finder?

Thanks for any help! (I'm waiting to open them... so please let me know!)

If your worried about the brand then the old addage of 'try before you buy' may be best .... I'd have wanted to try a single disc of a given brand (if not a couple) BEFORE I shelled out for 50 ..... if its not too late, you could nip out and buy a single Memorex DVD+R and see how you get on!!
I wonder how much of a saving cheap DVDs really are ... based upon their reliability and longevity..???
