Any bad or good experience with AllMediaOutlet.com ?

[donpedro]

I was looking little bit arround to find cheap DVD-R media with free shipping. I found AllMediaOutlet.com. Does anybody have good or bad experience with them ?

I am planning to start with "PRINCO 25 Pack DVD-R 4.7GB General Use in Cake Box" for my new Sony DRU500A.

Thanks.

No responces. Hmmm ! Does it mean that you don't order from them or they are not solid seller ?

I have bought from them once. I bought the princo white top DVDr. So far had no problems with it. no coaster yet.

I bought a 25 pack of DVD+R media with the DVD case (ITEM- NO:
DVD+RCMBO25LG) for $53.25. Shipping and handling was free and best of all I got it when promised!!. I burned home movies on it and was able to play it without problems on my APEX 1100, General Electric GE 1106P, GE 1401P, and even on my Playstation 2. So far, so good with the media. I haven't had any problems. I think this is a very good deal considering I got more for the buck.. I would recommend it.

Was it with Sony DRU-500A (1.0d) ?

I ordered and was billed for a RITEK combo pack (25 DVD-R Gen Media, Silver top, purple bottom and DVD cases), and received 50. My Pioneer DVR-104 can't even recognize the media as blank media (prior post on this). Around the spindle, on the pruple surface, there is the following print: "DR-47AS04-00044".

I guess I got more than what i ordered, but i need to resolve my media problem.

For what this is worth.

I have a Sony DRU-500A, WinXP Home, Nero 5.9.9.17, DVDDecryter, and IFOEdit to rip DVD movies.

Here's my experience with several media stores: 3 places

Princo at allmediaoutlet.com

http://www.allmediaoutlet.com/P-DVDR-4.7-GENPrinco.html

I bought a 25 pak of Princo with White glossy top/purple bottom. However, on the firmware 1.0d these were all coasters until the new firmware upgrade 1.0f and it's burning at 1X. Personally, I would never buy from them again. Don't want to take a chance.

100 Pk of Meritline brand 4.7 GB DVD-R 2X General purpose DVD Recordable

Expensive....and their media is inconsistent!!!! I emailed customer service 4 times and only got one response. That one time, I was able to talk to a customer service rep. and he told me that they are constantly updating their media b/c the hardware companies are constantly updating their firmware. So, that means their media is not consistent.

Here's my reason behind the above statement:
The reason that is I bought a 25 pk of the above link about a month ago and it worked great. No problem at all. So, I decided to buy a 100 pk 3 weeks later and I recieved it. I made mostly coasters!!!! That's why I contacted customer service to see why it's not working, but I asked him "Why? Isn't it the same media?" To my surprise that's what he told me. I wanted to return it but never got a return address or even an email from him. Actually, I never heard from him again. So, I would NEVER buy from them again!!!!!

200 pk of Ritek DVD-R

You can get generic 1X Ritek DVD-R media at the following site and the Sony DRU-500A with 1.0f firmware will write these generic disks at 2X.
I previously ordered 200 blank DVD-R from them and they are all consistent and reliable DVD-R media. So, I decided to order another 200 blank DVD-R and the arrival date is 12/16. My co-workers been buying from them for 4 months now and he bought over 300 blank DVD-Rs. Personally, I'm willing to spend an extra $.15-$.20 to get consistent reliable media.

I hope my experience will save others from grief!!!!!!

I bought from them a couple of times already and everything has been fine with the shipments, received order as specified and the product is good. I use strickly 2x media, I hate to wait. But all I trough at my pioneer player it plays it. It has never failed me. Anyhow Ithink they are a good vendor to buy from, sisnce I am in Florida, the free shipping comes very handy, and I usually order with plenty of time. I hopr I was able to help you.
