I've used a number of DVD-R/W brands over the years. I usually pick them up on sale at Fry's (Wilsonville) when I am in that area. My picks: 1. Ridata 2. TDK 3. Sony 4. Verbatim 5. Philips I also picked up a M-disc drive to try out the new(ish) M-disk DVD-R and BD-R. These do not use a dye, but a proprietary glassy carbon material and supposedly lasts for a "millenium". Unfortunately the original company went belly up, so who knows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-DISC http://www.mdisc.com/
