I use Princo 1x DVDR and DVDRW media with my Pioneer A04. I've had 2-3 coasters, and perhaps 4-5 discs with io errors; usually not noticeable until I try and make an image of the burned disc.
However, this is over the last couple hundred disks I've burned, so I've generally been quite successful. I am using dvdrecord under Linux. I have however found variability in readability of discs, from one batch to the next (buying in 100-disc spindles). On Tue, Jan 28, 2003 at 12:02:49PM +0100, Robert M.
