DataWrite 1x (yellow/white print), any good?

[MrSnake]

Media is getting scarce here and I wanted to get some stash

Does someone know DVD-R "DataWrite", with a -very- bright yellow surface and white characters? It has a purple dataside and is 1x.

You guys have good or bad experiences with this media?
How about the manufacturer? (Nero CD Speed?)

PS, any thoughts about the DataWrite 2x media?

I intent to use it for DVD Video, not for data.
I don't wanna end up like I did with Princo 2x media. Playback errors in the outer area of the disc.

Thanks in advance,
Mrsnake

I've had no problems with this media on my Sony DW-U10A (DRU500 OEM) I've burnt approx 30 no coasters

Thanks, but I meant recognising and playback on standalone DVD players.
Even non-DVD-Video compliant discs will play on a PC DVD-ROM.

datawrite yellow 1 speed dvd-r is perfect for me,i bought 100 yesterday and previously have bought about another 300 of these discs.i think they have a princo dye,rarely have any bad writes with them,and are played back smoothly on many dvd players from my experience.
I often use the full capacity of the disc for films and there are no problems with the outer regions of the disc.
I use a pioneer dvd player and no problems at all with datawrite yellow.
The grey ones [datawrite classic] are good too.

MrSnake
they play on every DVD player I've put them in no bother. Pioneer 444, 545 Sony Multidisk (can't remember model) and various other friends players that I have lent them to.

everything above and more,
got a pioneer 350 and they work flawlessly, but what impressed me the most was the kids player(phillips 950) wouldn't reckon any dvdr but also played this disc just fine.buy them now and buy a whack load, i did

EXCELLENT BUDGET MEDIA!
I have used them on Movies, Games and Backing up files with no problems. Work fine in PS2 & XBOX for games and Movies. Backed up movies work on most standalone dvd players.
ALSO if you have a pioneer 103, 104 or NOW even 105 you can download firmware that will make ANY 1x media 2x. Plus make your drive region free.

Make Backups, Not War!
