I've used Princo discs on and off, and honestly, every single one i've used has died after a while or shortly after recording onto it. Princo is one of the most unreliable brand of DVD's i've ever used!. I'll stick to Verbatim!

I am beginning to agree with this....but what is the price on the Verbatims?

Around R160 odd from Sybaritic excluding postage for a pack of 50 printable layer unbranded Verbatim!.

I've tried the following :

Sony - Top starts peeling off after a while!
TDK - Works, then starts giving trouble after a while! I would expect better from TDK!
TraxData - Actually not that bad, just not printable top!

I've purchased other no-name printable top unbranded discs - they vary in quality, but I have to be desperate if I buy anything other than Verbatim!

Princo.... really, the amount of times I've burnt stuff and try retrieve the data and the system recons the disc is blank.... Or bad sectors... I've also noticed the disc goes yellow on the printed side, discoloration for whatever reason! I simply will never give Princo the time and day considering the amount of sh~t i've had with their products! Some have argued that they have not had any problems with Princo... - Good luck to them! I'll stick to Verbatim!

can never be 160 for 50 verbatims dude.

Best make is Taiyo Yuden - and you can find them in SA, but beware of fakes.
They don't do DL though.

OMW yes!!! Worst media EVER = Princo

Give me Verbatim any day.

I've paid as little as R150 for a pack of Verbatim DVDs...... single layer tho. Don't think they do dual layer. If they do then I've never seen them.

i use the Verbatime DVD + R DL...

never had an issue, and discs last.
