Capatablity media for Pioneer DVD-R A05 ????

[Xtreme]

So what have you all found out about what media is capatable and was is not ? Has anyone tried the media from this website ? If so which ones have you tried ? I am looking to backup my DVD movies to disk. Good and bad experiences welcomed. Thanks guys !

I bought 50 to test the dvd-rs... they are great... only one coaster and that was due to the file being corrupted and it couldn't be read... So besides that -- all the dvds work on my computer and stand alone dvd players... (Pioneer and Sony)... Speed is 1x only... anyways -- yesbuy.net has great prices but real expensive deliver fees... Another site that you might want to check out will be www.shop4tech.com .. They have great prices and free deliver on their dvd-rs ... I haven't bought myself any dvd-rs from that place yet... but will soon...

Princo 2x (VX...TDKG02..000)
Maxell 2x (.....MXL RG..01.)

Both work fine. The shit media from best buy does not (verbatium I think).

Do NOT purchase any Ritek media unless it's 1x and you want to burn at 1x because the 2x media will not work at 2x on our drive. It does w/ the A04 and A03.

Good luck.

Pioneer 4X (of course) and PrimeDisc 1X works fine. I'm about to test Bulqpak 2X
