    NEVER NEVER BUY ANY PRINCO if you don't want to have any problem playing it on your Home DVD Players. Get any media type but PRINCO

    DVD Planet, i had the same attitude as you for quite a while. I wouldnt buy the Red 4x Datawrites, but i think Princo have gotten it right with the Yellow 4x Datawrite adn teh silver ones too. I have only burnt 3 of them so far and each one was succesful, even though Nero says it fails at the Disc-At-Once finalizing??? It plays well in 4 different DVD players!

    PRINCO media is the cheapest and the worst media that I've ever seen and bought. I was so sorry that I bought these and none of them work on my DVD Player. I've used DVDPro, Ritek, Accu and some other cheap meda and they all worked well for me, except these BASTARD PRINCO

    If you don't want any problem, then don't touch PRINCO...take care!!!

    DVD Planet shouldnt be worried by cost of Princo's tho because he must make a fortune from the donations to his site mentioned in his sig...
