I haven't tried them... but the distributor I know that is pushing them here in B.C. is VERY well known for selling the lowest quality crap he can get his hands on (he sells to A&B Sound, all their generic Promedia crap too). So I don't personally have high expectations. But this is not based on any experiences with the media, so it may actually be fine.

I bought a 25-pack of the 4x dvd-r from the new Canada Computers near Yonge/Finch for $7.99 at their grand opening. According to Smartburn, the media id was Gigastorage.

Worked fine at 4x on my LiteOn 812s.

Hope this helps.

Geez... I *SAID* that this was going to happen didn't I?

Everyone wants the cheapest crap they can get. Look at all the people scrambling to pick up those $0.20 DVD-Rs when they go on sale in the hot deals section. It doesn't matter if 3/4 of the media doesn't burn properly, and the other 1/4 fails within a year... it's still a "good deal" right?
