SVP has run out of my usual discs again and i am on the hunt for some new ones to use which is still in my price range of a tub of 50 for £6-£8 Max.

I thought CMC was crap, but MCC02RG20 and TTG02 are both good. I guess it would matter which one your got?

Your budget it a bit low.
16.00 USD United States Dollars = 8.68512 GBP United Kingdom Pounds
This is the price for blank discs in the USA, after taxes, on sale in stores.

6.00 GBP United Kingdom Pounds = 11.0503 USD United States Dollars
... and that would only buy me junk for a 50-pack.

If I were in the UK, I'd get these:
http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=1069
£43.99 for 200-pack

11.00 GBP United Kingdom Pounds = 20.2481 USD United States Dollars
I pay that good discs, no problems. Still a bargain.

Nothing wrong with these either:
http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=1214
TDK 003 / Datasafe Branded (16x) DVD+R / Spindle tub of 25 for £4.35

Same for these: http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=1215
These are also TDK Datasafe, but the discs look better, not shiny with big logos.

More good MCC discs http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=168
Datawrite Titanium (16x) Full-Face Printable DVD+R
Spindle tub of 100 for £19.99

Or more MCC/Prodisc http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=190
Spindle tub of 50 for £10.99

These are Prodisc and the discs look nice too http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=1127
Dysan (8x) DVD+R / Spindle tub of 25 for £4.36

Considering I am buying about 800 dvd's this time, that is all i can afford to spend on discs. the datawrite red mach 4, which i brought last time was in that price range, which you recommend.

I can not afford any of the others, which is why i am asking for that price range on discs. I am on a tight budget this month and that lot has to last me about 2 months.

No. Mirror is fake media. It is Infosmart crapola with a forged MCC ID.
It's garbage, don't buy it.

Optodiscs DVD+R are crap. Remember that.
The DVD-R may or may not be worth a darn. There will be coasters.

If you'd spend a few £ more, you'd lose less £ from coasters.

Again I can not afford then what my budget is, sorry but my bills takes higher prioity then spending another £4+ on discs which will barly last me 2 maybe 3 weeks.

I know optodiscs are crap, so its even those, the pot luck on the datawrite titanium silver

I don't want expensive dvd's that's not going to last me for no more then a few weeks. I budget this amount on discs as that is all i can afford and willing to spend on discs without breaking the bank.
