I've burned 50 at 2x, no coasters (used for xbox & dvd player). Got another 100 on the way. I've had to toss about 20% of the princo's. Mostly because they failed verification (at 1x, using RecordNow). Not 1 single ritek has given me any problems. worth the extra $.20 each in my opinion.

These 3 stores are operated by the same company:
99% of the products are the same, pictures of the product are the same, they are all three "yahoo stores" with "top service" -- give me a break... and their address are almost the same. They all of them send you a "weekly sale" on Monday. What do you need more ??
CDRDVDRMEDIA.com, MERITLINE.com, SUPERMEDIASTORE (4 miles away) (*snipped addresses*)

Are there any sites that review DVD-R media? I've heard a lot of people say that the Ritek and Princo DVD-R's don't always burn correctly on the last GB of the dvd and that is unacceptable for my purposes. Anyone know more about this? Thanks.
How about the true 2x rated Optodisc DVD-R for $50 (a spindle of 50) at NewEgg? I don't know if they are any good, though...

I know the latest firmware for the A104 will allow 2X burning on 1X Riteks, but what about Pioneer's new DVR-105? Anyone have this 4X drive?
