Question...

How much do blank DVDs cost? I have a few ISOs I need burnt and my dad only has prehistoric CDs that my CD/DVD drive just laughs at.

Depends on how many you buy, and from whom, and whether jewel cases are included...but in general, less than a dollar a disc--often much less.

I'm not sure what the usual markup from Amazon to brick and mortar establishments is these days, but I'm guessing that you can probably find something similar to this for under $20 in most places.

They're very cheap now. What you want to look out for is your burner type. When I first bought DVD Rs I didn't realize there's DVD+R and DVD-R, I thought they were the same thing since there's only CD-R and no such thing as CD+R. But some DVD burners will only burn one or the other and some DVD players will only play one or the other.

Needless to say, I was frustrated when I found out I had just bought $30 of 50 blank, completely useless discs. (The price has come down since then I think).
