DANGER WILL ROBINSON DANGER

Yep, they suck! I had a lot of bad burns on those and the ones that did burn ok are now unplayable after only six months. Stick with the Ritek, Prodisc, or Verbatim....millions of Afterdawn members can't be wrong! Well they can, but they are right about this.

Oh Great! I just ordered a fifty spindle yesterday. They are in route. Some people just gotta learn the hard way, such as myself.

It's not a total loss, you can still use them and play around with different burning methods. Try and do some creative stuff or something. If all else fails use them for data. And really they may work ok for you, I just had a lot of trouble with them.

Oh, I learned the hard way too!

Been using them for past 3months.
Ordered 50pk, then 100pk and only had 2-3 bads.

Just tested some old backups of movies/ps2 and they still work fine. I guess I'll report back in 3months then a year :)

Guess I have 3 month left :> and pOOF! ****

Just ordered 100pk $0.31 since the price drop.

My Pioneer 106 supports the media!

EDIT: Nec ND1300a set up as an external isn't on the DVD-R Compatibility Chart :O hehe

Deeman I hope they work for your drive. Good Luck!

Now they come in a 50pk plastic cake with little white star on inside. There good media for everything if your DVR supports it.

My bro just bought a Pioneer 107 and they work with that newer drive! I told him to get a Pioneer for $90 since they work with almost any media and there are a few firmware hacks for faster ripping etc.

Edit: i've used Ritek & Princo in the past which are great generic type media for $0.60 or so. But Sonic for $0.30 is much cheaper if ur drive support the burn.

I'm giving myself a 50/50 chance. Let's hope I get more than I paid for in this case. I got 50 discs and 50 cases for 30 bucks. It could be worse.
