  1. Am looking for advice from Sony 510 owners as to the best DVD media they would recommend. I have read memorex brand has been a problem with some users.
    Any advice on compatible media brands with this dual format burner would be appreciated!

    I'd make a difference between DVD-Video and just data.

    If it's for DVD-Video I go Verbatim all the way. Costs more, but you get what you pay for. Certainly if you have a picky DVD player.

    Princo 1x, 2, 4x, DataWrite 1x,... I keep them for data.
    I also found that the Princo 4x is much better than the Princo 2x.

    Atm, I'm also satisfied about Nashua for DVD-Video, but I can only find Nashua 1x :/ Which is reeaally slow if you're used to 4x.
