Interesting, because my A104 burns at 2x, in spite of claiming with -prcap that it does only 1x. And I use cheap blanks from computer shows and whatever OfficeMax/Staples have on sale when I get low. But I agree the media is the issue in most cases.If I burn with 2.4x instead of 4x, there seems to be no problem. I wonder what this could mean.
It means that the drive isn't adapting properly to the media, but with 2.4x it falls within the tolerances the reading drive can handle.
I found that a Pioneer A106 never had problems burning Verbatim 4x DVD-R
media at 4x. However 4x media is no longer available, and the same
burner doesn't burn the Verbatim 8x DVD-R media at 4x at all, but it
seems to work (mostly???) at 2x. This is even with the latest firmware,
which improved things a bit but didn't fix them. Pioneer is obviously
not interested in keeping older burner models running, as the last
firmware update was some time back.
I don't disagree about the media, I just want to point out that this is a good example of the fact that what you pay for the media is generally not closely related to the quality of the media.
