I always pick the best dvd-r .. I just don't don't trust my movies and mp3's with low quality dvd-r's such as 99 cents brands.
If you want your files to last long get brands such as "Taiyo yuden", or "Ritek"! If you want a cheaper solution with out risking quality, you can purchase Dvd-r's that contain AZ0 dye.
