The 3 10-packs I bought were all Lead Data.

I went to another Compusa today and bought another 10-pack and those turned out to be Princo. I then noticed that the Princo variety were in plastic wrap while the Lead Data were in a box. Both included the slim cases.

Also with the princos the top Jewel case had a CD sleeve which was Green/Black, the rest had no paper sleeve. While each Lead data DVD-R slim case had a black/grey paper sleeve. Please post if this is consistent. I will be returning my Princos and hopefully getting a few more Lead Data. One more diff - the Prico's had 1X printed on the top sleeve while the Leads did not specify a speed.

I bought a 10pk to do some testing on the Optorite.

DVDInfo returns my pack as Lead Data. As mentioned by Booyah, my discs came in a box, didn't specifiy speed, and the slim jewel case had a black/grey paper sleeve. So I guess if people want to, they can take a gander at the insides and tell what they're getting by the insert/paper sleeves.

Anyone know who makes the CompUSA DVD+R media?

I'm not at home, so I can't check mfg data, but I bought a 10-pack of CompUSA DVD-R's the last time they were on sale. The first two verified fine (data mode using Nero), but the third had errors on 10% of the files (no visible scratches on the disc). This is with a DVR-A04 Pioneer. I've never had that high of an error rate before on a disc that appeared good to the eye. I won't buy them again.

I thought I would get the Princo discs since my local store in southern California only had the plastic wrap type in stock, but they turned out to be made by Optodisc. I burned one with my Optorite burner at 2X without any problem. Now I'm kicking myself for not buying more since the $6.99 sale ended today. The price goes back to $13.99 (after 30% off) for tomorrow.

I also got a pack of +R discs and they are also made by Optodisc. Since the 30% off still applies for tomorrow, 50-pack 2.4X DVD+R discs for $48.99 isn't too bad either.

I bought two different packagings, one in a grey box with individually wrapped discs in cases that have black paper inserts, another just a shrink-wrapped stack of discs in cases, only the top one having a green paper insert. The black-insert ones were "TDKG02000000" and the green-insert ones were Princo. I burned a Princo succesfully at 2x on my A05 and it played back perfectly, reading in two Philips region-free standalones, my Dell laptop DVD/CD-RW and even my 5 year old Hitachi DVD-ROM. I'd test some more Princos and some of the TDKs but I have nothing to burn right now. Hope this helps. Oh yeah, and the TDKs were listed as 2x.

I just burned 4 discs and they work flawlessly in all my dvd players! Thanks great deal for .69 cents a disc!
