???? about dvd+r blanks

I have been backing up all my dvd's and I have run into a snag.....

I first bought a pack of Sony disks (120min/4.7GB/1x-4x) and I had no problems with thies disks..

Then I bought some disks from Radio Shack...Centrios (120min/4.7GB/2.4x)......and only one out of 10 actually recorded with no problems. Some of them recorded some of the movie and was unable to read the rest, some would show only the dvd menu and not play the movie itself.....and some would not even play anything........

Is this just a difference in the disks themselves or a prob. somewhere else................

Yes, All sorts of bad things in bad packages.

In Calgary last summer, on the newsgroups people were complaining of CDR's from 6 businesses that had lousy Discs.

They were usually bought by the 50 or 100 packs.
