Recording Media

I got an email from Michael Page, another professor at OCAD in the integrated media section, regarding cheap recording media. Since we are recording audio, and some students may be using the mini-dv camera method, I thought the information might be helpful in saving some cash. Here is his email:

---------------
Some students have asked about where to purchase miniDV tapes and DVDs inexpensively. One place, on College st. called Factory Direct (290 College st.) advertises sony mini-DV tapes for $39.98 for 10 tapes.

DVD media +R or -R is $29.98 for 100 disks. There is no reason to believe that this media won't last as long as any other blank media, however, just in case...

Sony DVDs can be used as permenent archives at $29.99 for 50 disks.

Get together with your classmates and buy some media.
SAVE OFTEN
