suggestions for cheap meadia. I had the best success with maxell DVD+R. But would like to go with something cheaper. I have heard rumor that some dvd media advertise 1X but support 2X. Success stories using cheap DVD's wanted please! Users of the sony external drive are of particular interest. Thanks

i have used optodisc blue and silver with very minimal problems. 2 failures that were software related not media related out of 150 discs. paid 90.00 for 100 dvd-r. hope this helps

BestBuy has Memorex DVD-R and DVD+R as a 50 pack for $99 but I am not sure about the quality of them. You might want to do a little research

I always use Verbatim DVD-R

Ritek 1X upgradable to 2X DVD-R
- 1X for most dvd-r burners.
- 2X for Sony DRU-500A(E) firmware 1.0f only.
- 2X for Pioneer 104-A04 firmware 1.31 only.

These are the cheap medias (Quality range - good => least)
AllMediaOutlet DVD-R
Lead Data DVD-R
- AllMediaOutlet & Lead Data DVD-R are in same level.
Princo DVD-R

Sony DRU-500A(E) is older model, DRU-500ulx is this newer model so it works with your model plus compability to more media. good luck!
