Final Answers on DVD-R for Sony DRU-500A

[heretic422]

I've read the threads below but they get vague after about six replies.

What -R media have people been successfully using, regardless of speed, in a DRU-500A?

I see Accu, Ritek and Princo but are these the only ones that are cost effective, meaning about $1 a piece?

Thanks in advance.

What FW version You are using? And what color of BulkPaq? All these disks should be useable with latest FW. Can't confirm myself - allthough I happen to have all these disks, You couldn't use, I have only Pioneer 104.
