Princo DVD-R 4X Media/ 100 DVd's $103 shipped

[AnMig]

Could not find a decent link to a online store for DVD media.

I have bought from this place before and they shipped pretty fast and did not overinflate there shipping.

I bought the 10 pack Princo DVD-R(white face) and the cheaper DVD-R silver face last week just to see if the media will work with my standalone DVD players
and they all turned out fine.

So today I ordered the 100 piece Princo for $93+$9.82 shipping=$102.82

heres a link

http://www.yesbuy.net/

sorry the http button appears to be broken at this time

Peace

thats a generalization ... princo's 4x dvd-r media are quite good, have gotten some awesome reviews... their 1x media was bad, their 4x is awesome ...

also allmediaoutlet
$94 for 100 4x dvd-r
free ship

thats where i ordered mine from

 

[xybertron]

I've ordered around 300 of the 2x. No problems.

I get the discs from http://www.blank-cd-cdr.com/dvdr-media-dvd-r.html

I think they are the same company as allmediaoutlet.

 

[kindest]

damn dirt cheap, hopefully all 4x media will be this cheap soon.

 

[AnMig]

thanks for links

duhh--that site does not offer free shipping on all their media, I guess they run specials and offer free shipping (they where actually 1 dollar more after shipping)



I guess most of these sites have the same price.
Maybe I should not have ordered 100 pcs since the prices are dropping pretty fast.

with regards to Princo having a bad reputation, I guess to each his own if it plays in your set of DVD's there should be no problem.
These Princos by the way was able to play in my DVD player in my HONDA Oddessy. That player was picky it did not even want to play any CDR's for music, it would just play store bought DVD's and store bought music cd's. Now I can transfer my kids VHS collection to DVD to play in the CAR.

thanks for the heads up - I have some Fuji media that seems to be not working out so well.

I've had nothing but success with Princo 1X media. I hacked the firmware on my Pioneer DVR-105 so I can burn them at 2X every time. Me and two of my coworkers always go into together and buy a bulk pack and they've had good luck with them too.

I really don't understand why so many people slam the Princo's. They burn great and they have the nice white top instead of the plain disc surface.

 

[SaigonK]

Armoth - I am with you on the white surface, I hate blank media (CD or DVD) that is simply silver on top.
I label mine with a black fine point sharpie and it sucks on silver tops.

Anyone with a Sony or Optorite drive should bear in mind that the Princo 4X DVD-R discs will only burn at 2x in your drive.

 

[dealsurfer]

How about the pioneer 105 does it work well with this media?

Why is that? The Optorite site shows that the drive is rated at 4X for DVD-R.

eww princo :disgust:

 

[NDENT2003]

Princo media is great.I've burnt tons of there 4x disc & only had 1 bad one.I like them better then riteks for some reason.I know the riteks might last longer but i lost more ritek disc in a 100pk then i did with like 500 + princos.

Anyway the deal at allmediaoutlet is pretty good & cheapest i've seen.I'm about to order some from there now matter of fact lol.

 

[iamme]

are there any reports or reviews regarding the longevity of these media?

i remember some old cheapie CD-R's that burned great and never gave me a coaster. After a year, they started to read "funny" in my PC

I have yet to burn a single coaster in 300 pieces of FUJI +R 2x media, what kind of media and problems are you having?:Q

 

[JImmyK]

anymore optorite and princo media speed issues? I wanna order but if it only does 2x obviously thats not cool.

Gee, I just burned 10 princo 4x discs in my Sony and they came out great. Since they were done in 15 minutes each, I am pretty certain that they burned at 4X.

I know a local princo dealer, so that's pretty much all I use. They work very well in my Sony and my Cendyne (pioneer 105).

 

[kilmanjaro]

Anybody have any experience with these in a Toshiba DVD-RW drive?

 

[AnMig]

if you have the OPTORITE burner these princos only burn at 2x for some reason even though they are rated at 4x

I am not sure if the firmware update resolves this problem since I have not upgraded my firmware.

Princo 4x works nice with my Cendyne (Pioneer 105) drive.

what firmware do you have? my 500ax starts up at 4 x (and says 15 minutes to burn) but after a few seconds, changes to 29 minutes remaining using Recordnow DX.

 

[MIDIman]

Bought 1x white glossy top princo's a while back from supermediastore that worked completely fine - all 50 of them. I have the new Sony 510a dual burner

Looks like yesbuy has 50-pack for ~$1.19/each, after s/h which ain't too bad.

Someone needs to start a media thread...

 

[zaph]

dang, i am only 1/3 of the way through my 100pcs of princo 1x i got at yesbuy for 80.00 a few weeks back.

at least next time i know ill be able to get the 4x

and my DVR-105 has NO problems burning the 1x at 2x with a well patched firmware
