Try backing up your games using verbatim or sony media, in my opinion they are the best and dont give me any problems.

Princo disks with the shiny white top are lousy. These were the original 4x speed disks, and I thought they were a bargain. I know of 2 other people who have the same Princo problem. Have about 30 films I backed up that I have to do again. They stop playing somewhere mid-film. It must be the dye. I now use Ritek media and so far, so good. When Ritek are bad, it's usually that way from the manufacturer, not after I burn a movie.

If the DVD movie industry ever reconsiders "disposable dvd/temporary dye" dvd media, they don't have to worry about Research and Development costs: they should just print their DVDs on Princos. This way, they know that it won't last.

Lesson #1 to be learned - "stay far far away" from Shitmorex, Princo and any unknown media brands. Get yourself some high quality genuine medias such as Taiyo Yuden/FUJI, Maxell, Sony (make sure they all says "MADE IN JAPAN") and Verbatim (MCC or MKM "MADE IN TAIWAN") and you won't have to worry about getting any "coasters" or "choppy/freezing" down the road.
