Here is the link to the DVD-R. Not sure who makes them. They are $39.99 now so not really the $59.99 regular price listed in the ad.

I think CompUSA media tends to be Princo. Strangely, it seems to have quite the following, I wonder if they manage to get "good" Princo...

FMI is CompUSA brand,it used to be decent.
Infodisc was(is still?) horrible...Infodisc makes CMC look like TY.

I picked up a pack of +R and -R today.
+R is INOFOME R20 burns @ 2.4X
-R is PRINCO burns @ 2.4X and 4X
So far I've burned two -R disc's one at 2X and one at 4X, they both horribly failed. So far STAY AWAY FROM THIS JUNK.

Someone on one of the hot deals sites says the +R HE got burn at 8X on NEC ND-3500A.
This happens to be the burner I just bought - I wasn't looking for 3500A posts, just posts about the quality of the discs and that was the first one that I found.

Looks like the +R is really good stuff. I'm going to run back to the store now to return the -R Junk, and hopefully exchange it for the good stuff.

My mistake the +R is INFOME (NOT INOFOME) R20.
And I just found that it is supported at 8X here:

Guess I would need the rip lock firmware.

Also just found out that the write descriptor may be locking this disc to write only at 2.4x
but the write quality is still awesome.
