[MacDV] Re: 4x DVD-R media

[Richard Dalziel Sharpe]

I use "Shintaro"  4X  DVD-R discs with no problems.
I have a Dual G5 2ghz with the Pioneer 106D (AO6) drive. I've burnt 
about 40-50 without a coaster.
I have burnt discs with Toast 5.3, Disc Copy  (for data backup) and 
iDVD 3.  I have not had any problems with these discs playing on any of 
the 4 stand alone DV players I have access to.
These are the cheapest disks I can get here in Australia on special at  
$21.00 a pack of 10.
