 This media is alright for data, but its no good for movies because it causes pixelation glitches every now and then throughout the movie and it really skips bad towards the end of the dvd. I guess I can't trust cheap media, just gonna stick to good old Ritek.

 All other DVD-R media I've tried in the .55-.60/disc price range would burn OK at 4X but always fail the verify phase and exhibit subtle video glitches during playback on my JVC 523GD standalone.
 
 But so far, all of my burns with Digital Matrix DVD-R at 4X have completed the verify phase successfully and played back beautifully.
 
 Works fine on JVC XV-523GD

 With my 1.07 firmware, the NEC would fail during the speed test in Nero. I upgraded to firmware 1.0a and the Digital Matrix's burn perfectly fine at 4x.
 
 I bought a 100Pk from Meritline for $58 + shipping

 Garbage.  Bought 10 to test on my DRU510A and haven't been able to burn a single one at any speed (1x, 2x, or 4x).  Junked them all, waste of money.

 These are DVD-R and they freeze during play if burned at 4x speed.  At 2x speed is better, but not perfect.
 CANNOT burn on MicroAdvanyage drive.  Can burn on IOMAgic drive and Sony DRU500A.

 Amazing media at a cheap price $0.58 cents each. Silver/Purple. Burn't @ 4x on my DRU500AX 2.0G. Wasn't suppose to work @ 4x according to Merltine, but it did. Tested on 5 stand alone players and all of them play fine.
