DVD Writer Media

Hey all,

I was wondering which media(s) would work best with the Pioneer A05 and/or Sony dru500a.

I live in Canada, and dvd media is expensive. I need to order media from the States to save money, but i am unsure as to what works well.

I want to be able to backup P2 games, movies etc.

Also, does anyone know a good online store to order media from

Any help is much appreciated!!

As far as what media works best is a matter of preference....

I use Princo branded white label dvd-r's..(The ones that say Princo on the top, not just the blank white labels)

They work great for PS2 games and DVD movies, and they are cheap... You can get 100 of them for $100.00.
Traxdata DVD-R's are great, but they are hard to get because none of the suppliers ship to the US....
Of course you can always use the BIG brand names, ie..Verbatim, Apple, etc, but they are expensive...
I would suggest ordering a pack of 5 to see what your equipment likes the best, then you can order more quantity...

Thanks for the link BG. However, i am not comfortable using ebay, and dealing with person to person. Anyone know of an online store that sells the same discs as the above link? The above link provides a picture of the discs (case) as well.

BG orginally said Princo with the name written on the top not just the blank white labels....Need to find though branded discs

Many thanks!
