I have an A05 and copy with dvdxcopy and play on samsug player. Pioneer media had only one glitch. dvd Pro was 1 in 10 good writes. DVD_R media had no glitches. DVD_Pro silver R/W worked better if you format first.
I use smartripper and recordnow max with my a05 burner, the only media that I have used is ritek g-03, I haven't had much problems, on my sylvania dvd player, the movie is perfect, I play also on my ps2, some movie skip toward the end, and the same thing for my sony dvp-s300 player. I have heard that the ritek are the best, so thats what I have been using..good luck.. raj
