I find that media quite cheap with names like HP and others. Even then, I record at 1/2 the media's rated speed. My recorded media doesn't appear to have the life issues I read about in these forums.

Where can I find the best price on DVD+RW 8X media? I can't seem to find many sellers who have the 8X write speed disks, and when I do find them, they're fairly expensive compared to other media.
