      Thanx m8
      That list is not gospel. But a good start guide for unknown brands.
      I like advice from people I know.
      Then I know who to blame if its baloney!

      Hi everyone, i discovered this site last night: http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk/acata..._Discs_16.html - they sell various dvd-r's and have notes for each item with the hardware models (including the A05/105) they suggest you use with that particular media so it's a good idea just to get a list of brands, even if you choose not to buy from them.

      Dont trust that list Pat.
      Some of their recommended 105 discs do not work with FW1.00
      Altho they may work with FW1.21 (just ask Bertieg.lol)

      Oops, my apologies Dave.. had no idea mate. In that case, the website should do more thorough tests before they make recommendations. Any idea what date in January the new A05/105 firmware is going to be released?
