For copying DVDs, I use DVD Decrypter. It's truly goof-proof, and when copying dual layer discs, it maintains the correct layer break. It's not part of your question, but when burning discs that I've authored myself, I use GEAR or Nero for single layer and GEAR alone for dual layer.

As for media, I've been using Verbatim for over six years and I wouldn't use anything else (single or dual layer). Extremely reliable.

I wouldn't necessarily go for a 'brand' of media as this means very little these days. It is important to find the dye type.

If you are in the UK, try using http://svp.co.uk/ for your discs, as it lists the DYE CODE so you can find the original manufacturer of the disc before it is re-branded by the likes of Datawrite or Verbatim.

For the very best quality, I like Taiyo Yuden (TYG03), found in their own brand and Panasonic - they are much more expensive but you'll never get a coaster - especially with a Plextor drive!

Slightly cheaper but also almost as reliable is Mitsubishi (MCC 03RG20) found in some Datawrite discs.

I've been using all kind of media types so far, but must really say that i've had the best results with Verbatim DVD-R... You have to be beware of fakes though... as woodnotes mentioned search for the "MCC 03RG20" manufactoring code....

Discs that are labelled as made in Japan will typically give you excellent burns. Typically these are Verbatims or Taiyo Yuden.

I use Ritek G05 blanks,never have any problems with them.
I use DVDFAB DECRYPTER to rip DVD to VIDEO_TS,then use VSO COPY TO DVD to burn.
If i have an .img i use IMGBURN.

Thanks for the Uk seller tip for Taiyo Yuden.

I use Maxell & Verbatim. Never had a coaster. As for burning software, I use DVD Decrypter.

ritek dye is generally the best for the cash, although the Taiyo Yuden are supposed to be the best, ive never bothered with em as the riteks work so well in my dvd player, ps2 and xbox

[_legenda_]

I have 2 riteks with holes in it... Verbatim rules!
