and Movies you should burn on some other DVD-R, because only some DVD-Standalones take it (I found one between 9)

Cheap, not so good media.

Work OK for short projects - if you get anywhere near 5 GB they will have problems.
I got some verbatim datalifeplus and though they were more expensive, I was able to get the whole wedding video on it.

I've found this media is commonly supplied when cheap DVD-R is asked for. It writes OK reads fine in DVD Writer, however I've had major problems with any other DVD Drive reading it. Avoid if at all possible.

I tryed 5 disc in three different burner (Pioneer A03, A04, Toshiba 5002). From the 5 disc was 5 BAD, with the following errors:
-Unknown disc

So be carefull, and try some other brand of disc.

I bought this media a long time ago.
I have Apex 1200 and Daewoo 3000N and the it worked.
I have had some problem with some computer that wont see any data on it.

My Playstation 2 is version 4 no gap with magic 3.5 and didnt worked but princo and ritek did worked.
My friend has Playstation 2 version 7 and this media did worked on his PS2.

I use prassi Primo DVD since I heard some problems with nero writing on it. I had a computer that didnt read the DVDR Data burn with nero and now it does with prassi. I do have to add that I upgraded my Firmware for the Pioneer A03 so that probably did it.
