I usually get Verbatim +R DL discs on sale for about $1.50, in packs of
10. Watch the ads from Office Depot, Office Max, Staples, and Best Buy.
If you want to buy them on line, you might check www.rima.com, and
www.supermediastore.com.

Most people I know recommend sticking with Verbatim for DL discs. Note
that -R DL discs are very scarce, and more costly. You might want to
get the appropriate software to check the quality of your burns,
especially if you are using these for archiving. A bad burn might play
fine, for a little while...
