I have had a Pioneer DVR-104 drive for some time and have successfully used dvdrtools up to version 0.1.3 to write Bulkpaq X1 DVD-R and White Label (http://www.whitelabel-media.com/"; "Gold Edition" DVD-RW. No failures at all. This will not be a surprise to members of this list.
However, I was cautious about getting a Pioneer DVR-105 because of the various reports of problems with cheaper media, especially that from Princo. And Bulkpaq (http://www.bulkpaq.co.uk/) seems to be Princo. I have now acquired a DVD-105 and carried out some experiments. The drive firmware is version 1.00. I hope to report some other time with later versions of firmware. I used cdrtools-2.0.2 with the cdrtools-1.11a37-dvd.patch (I have an rpm with the two integrated if anyone would like a copy). So far I have not tried dvdrtools-0.1.3 on the DVR-105. I can report complete success with 1) Bulkpaq X1 ; DVD-R 2) Bulkpaq X2 ; DVD-R (these are on http://www.bulkpaq.co.uk/) 3) Datasafe General purpose DVD-RW (http://www.datasafe-media.com/) All these media are available at very reasonable prices in the uk, at least. I have not tried any X4 speed thus far. I am posting this in the hope that it will be helpful to others. I was a little uncertain about what to expect since there seem to be mixed messages about these drives and the media. ael _______________________________________________ Dvdrtools-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/dvdrtools-users
