DVD Media

[Joe D.]

I have the Sony DRU510A DVD writer. I am wondering what would be the suggested DVD media to buy for this writer? Any suggestions?

I would suggest reading the comments here

the link that spidey provided would be a good start. You are going to get everyone giving their opinions for what media is good and what media is bad.

Some of it depends on what you are going to put it in (PS2, apex, etc.) Also depends on +R or -R and then it depends on speed and also what you plan on burning the media with.

Me personally, I have used supermedia, princo, khypermedia. All my supermedia dvd'r worked great. Princo's have had skipping at the end on one disc, and 1 pack of khypermedia worked great, the next pack were coasters.

Other posters use princo and love it. Some posters used princo and they all stunk. Some posters used XXXXXXX media and it worked great until they tried to play it 3 months later, saying that the media goes bad.

Thoroughly confused yet I would just read the media link and come to your own conclusion.

Is this Sony DRU510A drive MADE IN JAPAN ?
