Thanks I did look at those funnily enough...
I would recommend Taiyo Yuden DVD+Rs. (I get excellent results using iMovie 06 with iDVD 11.)

I have found DVD+R to be more reliable than DVD-R. The only disadvantage to DVD+R is that DVD players manufacture before 2003 may not play them.
DVD+R disks are better than DVD-R disks because of the increased error correction technique used in the newer +R standard.
Thanks to be honest I never knew there was a difference with the DVD - OR + R not sure if they do the Bran you mention in the Uk But I will takie it on board.

and that last article includes information on where (in the US) you can buy Taiyo Yuden media. In the UK you can Google for them. As for Verbatim, even Sainsbury's sell them! 🙂
Also, this guide to what brands of DVD are the most reliable (and who makes them) is invaluable:
Thank you all very informative... never knew there was so much detailed stuff on the CD/DVD
