Get the new firmware (v1.21 I think it is) and you can use any media - once I ran the update program, everything I have thrown at the drive burns just fine. Often at speeds above what they are certified for. Ritek, for example, is not 2x certified but does burn at 2x.

that .69 media looks cheap, I'll wait on some more testers of that brand!

www.rima.com also about 67 cents each, princos.

I'v been using the dvdpro discs here,not 1 coaster yet http://supermediastore.com/25pac47bulun.html

I also bought a 4X test pack from http://www.supermediastore.com which has like 5pcs DVD-ON 4x media and 5pcs Ritek, I receive the disc before the new year and has tried the 4x. It was great!! Finally an impressive burning speed. Have not try the ritek yet, but I was reading an article on their site, it seems that the ritek are able to burn at 2x. I'll post more once I tryout the RitekG03 media.

Does anyone know (accesscard18?) if you can burn the Leda media at 2x w/ the newest firmware?

BTW where you I d/load the newest firmware. I only see updates for the A04, but nothing for the A05.

Tried Memorex first and it started pixelating 1/2 way through the movie on my player. Then tried Verbatim (on sale at target for 9.99 for a dvd-r 3 pak) and it worked great. Will buy a bulk pack of Riteks soon.

any dvdr with the ritek dye is a good bet!!! stay away from tdk dye as they fail!!

princo
ritek
pioneer
verbatim

they are all fine & dandy & work...

cheaper disks write but dont play!!

traxdata are probably ya best bet on a disk as they work everytime

Kev!

For the Aussies I suggest Melody 2X ($2.50) in bulk. Works all the time. Datastream is another good buy for 2X. Avoid any generic plain ones that the vendor tries to pass off as unlabeled TDK's.
