RiDATA 8.5GB 2.4X DVD+R DL 25 Packs Spindle Dual Layer Disc Model DRD+85-RDUSA-CB25

Pros: Works perfectly on my Pioneer DVR-108. Many, many burns and I've yet to produce a coaster. Out of 12 set top DVD players I've tested this media with there were only 2 that exhibited any issues (occasional artifacts while playing - they still read the disc). However, these 2 players also had issues with regular store bought titles as well. Two of the players that worked without a problem were 8-9 year old Sonys. Newegg's price on this brand of product generally blows other vendors out of the water and this particular product is no exception. Newegg's service, as always, rocks.

Cons: None. This product suits MY needs perfectly.

Overall Review: Its always a good idea to do a bit of research before purchasing a large quantity of media. Try purchasing a single disc to see if it meets your needs/expectations. There's also many websites available that can be used to gauge how well a certain type of media would work with various burners/players. Many people fail to do *any* real research on their media before they purchase it and then proceed to blast the product in public. If the media is truly of poor qualify a little research using _objective_ sources would have revealed this fact. If you still run into problems check the website of your burner's manufacturer and see if there are any firmware updates available for your drive. In many cases upgrading the firmware will help. Cheers!
