Kodak. All other brands were unplayable after I left a bunch inside a car with outside temperatures 40degC.

this is a tricky question becaise it all depends on what brand your dvd player "stand alone" will accept. please see the compatiablity of your dvd on vcdhelp.com, it doesn mater what cdr you use they will all have same picture quality but haow you capture is were the quality comes in. hope this helps.

Same quality because digital is digital, yes but other factors that should be considered include how long the data will maintain its integrity. For example, CTX brand CD-Rs ARE unreadable after about 6 months (despite ANYTHING), and some Ritek types introduce glitches in the audio, and are easier to scratch (label side, where the dye lifts off, disastrously, with the label); still others balk at mere exposure to sunlight (OF COURSE they shouldn't be exposed blah-blah, but those who do survive, like the Kodak I mentioned, speaks volumes, doesn't it). All this should make those who think they get away with buying no-name brand 20cent CD-Rs sit and take notice.
