Can't go wrong with Verbatim. I use that, and I've never had a problem.

Does'nt work with Prassi properly. Comes up
with verify errors and when looking at disc
underneath surface looks like it has'nt been
written. Nero successfully works when buring
with verify on x 1 speed, but will not play on
PS2.
Burning as a Dvd works fine though... weird...
A hit & miss media...

About $2.00 - $3.00 a disc, lower price in bulk.
Swap meets love to sell this media..
