High quality DVD lens cleaner for Macbook pro

Question

High quality DVD lens cleaner for Macbook pro

I live in Ottawa, Canada and I have gone to Best Buy, Staples, The Source, called computer stores and cannot find a high quality lens clearner such as Maxell or IBM which have been suggested on this site. Future shop in Ottawa which sells Macs only carries Verbatim lens cleaner. Apple store nothing. Since most posts say to stay away from Verbatim I don't want to buy that one. Can someone give me a link to buy on line a really good quality lens cleaner for my macbook pro. This relates to not being able to burn a DVD using idvd.

imac & mac bookpro 15", Mac OS X (10.6.1)

Hi

Stay away from Verbatim - Who says ?? Not this forum.

As lens claener I don't know

As DVD disks - only sort I use !

Alt is Taiyo Yuden - that also is regarded as top quality

Read David Pogue's books
• iMovie HD the Missing Manual
• iMovie 6 & iDVD The Missing Manual
• iMovie’08 & iDVD The Missing Manual
• iMovie’09 & iDVD The Missing Manual

And see what and Why Verbatim disks.

I think I would use a laser lens cleaning disk from Verbatim. Never seen it.

Did not mean to put down Verbatim, I tried using them and sony and have had problems. I have switched to maxell which works for me. At least idvd works on my imac not my macbook pro.

Hi

• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot hard disk

• Makle a DiskImage

• Try a Verbatim DVD-R disk and burn it (if it runns OK) with Apple Disk Tuil tool
or Roxio Toast™ if You got this.
(burn speed x4 or lower)
