What DVD Media would you recoment?

Im new to the dvd burning scene..
So far i have only tryed burning a backup on a prico disc. It worked fine, but I have heard that they dont have a very long lastability.
I have read god things about DataSafe/DataWrite, has anybody had good esperienses with these or are there another not so expensive brand that you would recomend?

I am also using Riteks now.... They work great.....Datasafe is made by Ritek.... Just like Princo makes Legacy.....

What you need to do masterg, is buy a small amount (like 5) and try them out... If they work for you, then you can buy more quantity....

Every laser varies and it's not suited very well..
It's pending..I personally use TDK,Verbatim or Fuji and nothing else..While my friends use generics and it's fine with them..
As indicated test the waters first then if it works stick with it.

I had snags with verbatim so now use DVDMaster dvdr's and have a 100% working record with them. They have a darker burn surface than other dvdr's. don't know if that makes a difference but PS2 seems to love them but as said it's whatever works for you. I used to use Bulkpaq G4 which are really cheap but work fine on my version 5 PS2 but not on my mates version 4. Some places do trial packs with a couple of each of several brands of dvdr so you can try for yourself which is best.
