If you can get them Traxdata or White Label are best cheaper media, otherwise Verbatim/TDK etc.

Not sure about sites in US

There is one thing you might consider.. Try using the "Comp USA" brand from Comp USA..... I have 10-12 backups on these DVD-R's and they ALL play perfectly....And they a relitively CHEAP....

Craig, I'm sorry to hear about your particular experience with them, you should have taken me up on my offer from a couple of weeks ago.

Bought some Verbatim and they work perfect. Boot everytime. One time i did find out was that 2 of the crappy Memorex DVD-Rs did boot if i laid my PS2 flat and would not if it was in the vertical stand. Verbatim all the way!
