I had recently upgraded to the Toshiba SD-R5112 Drive, and it has the capability to burn at 4X. I had previously purchased the 1X Princo media from this seller and for the most part they were OK (one batch I ordered had MANY bad discs, close to 25% now give read errors). But these Blank DVD-R's were supposed to be 4X. The software I used can burn at 4X (Latest version of Stomp RecordNowMax), I tried at least 5-6 of these 100 that I had ordered, and all of them only burn at 1X, Not even 2X. So needless to say I was fairly upset. I decided to contact them and right off the bat they automatically started putting the blame on the software, my drive, or the capabilities of my computer system, which is all complete BS. Because I had purchased several different brands of 4X DVD-R media from different places locally and they all burned at 4X fine. So the solution they said was for me to pay out of MY OWN pocket to ship this media back to them so that they could "test" it out. I refused because why should I pay for something that is being falsely advertised, the two options that I thought were more than fair was for them to pay for shipping of this media back. Or to simply give me $20 store credit to a future order since this media only works at 1X (1X media was about $20 less for a pack of 100). They refused.

So basically I'm here to say, STAY AWAY from AllMediaOutlet.com a perfect example of why the place with the best price doesn't always equal the best deal, it's better to pay a bit more and go somewhere that actually has some type of customer service.

Also check out they're HORRIBLE rating on ResellerRatings.com at: http://www.resellerratings.com/seller2886.html

I'm not the only one who feels this way!

Did you use your credit card to pay? If so call them and let them know and maybe they can help you. That happened with me with another company. I ordered one brand, they sent a different that didn't work with my machine. They wanted me to pay return shipping fees plus a restocking fee for their mistake. I called the AmEx and they took the charge off.

Do those Princos work 4x with your burner? Lessee

Drive Write Speed
CenDyne DVR-105 EIDE 1X, 2X, 4X
Panasonic LF-D311 1X, 2X
Panasonic DMR-E20/30 1X
Panasonic DMR-HS2 1X
Panasonic SuperBurner II SW-9571-CYY 1X, 2X
Pioneer DVR-103/A03 1X, 2X w/ firmware upgrade
Pioneer DVR-104/A04 1X, 2X w/ firmware upgrade
Pioneer DVR-105/A05 1X, 2X, 4X
Pioneer DVR-7000 1X, 2X
Pioneer DVR-9000 1X, 2X
Sony DRU-500A 1X, 2X, 4X w/ latest firmware upgrade

Your Toshiba drive is not listed! So your cry of "false advertisement" is baseless. Did you tell them what drive you have? And did they point to their Princo 4X page and ask you if you saw your drive listed?

Gee I wonder why they only write at 1x. Not that I'm defending these guys but with places like these it is buyer beware. Considering that they ship free I only buy small batches from them at a time.

I've used allmediaoutlet and They are OK. I had qualms about them when they sent me some shoddy DVD+RWs but they credited me back with no hassle (although it did take two emails to get them to respond back)

I have heard complaints about other places as well. Meritline etc etc.

It is common for folk to ship it back out of their own pockets. It is not common however for them to have YOU pay to have it shipped back to you.

Well seeing as though the Toshiba Drives are basically the same as the Pioneer, it is a standard DVD-R General Use Drive. There is NO reason it wouldn't work. As I stated above I've used several other brands of 4X and had it work fine. So there goes your defense out the window. :)

Once again I am not defendin' these guys.

If it is the same as a pioneer, which pioneer would it be the same as? The 103 or the 105?

I guess it is similar in that it is a dvd burner. You can tell these jokers at allmediaoutlet that. I am sure you can get your money back.

Yeesh....

Next time buy something that works...instead of being a cheap bastid. Princos indeed.
