is it possible for tesco disks not to work in certain drives, im having problems with tesco dvds, ive got a PHILIPS DVD+-RW SDVD8820

It's very likely for Tesco media not to work in many burners.

Replace with something decent like Verbatim & stay well away from own-brands.

So whats the opinion on sony dvd disks then?

Probably OK and sure to be better than Tesco's own.

On the high street PC World, Staples & Maplins all stock Verbatim media.
