Well here's my two 'pennoth on media. I'd been meaning to ask about this very topic as it's been a right 'buggers muddle' for me and the 5005.

Office Max Brand R+ Would not work in Lite On, returned to store

Maxell R+ Worked in Lite On, would not read back consistently in JVC, Apex or Toshiba Laptop. Also occasional Lite On failures when reading back.

Maxell +R/W Works in Lite On and JVC. Will not recognise in Apex or Toshiba Laptop. Seems like the Toshiba Laptop continually 'reads' the menu frame. ie: You can see the little pictures of what has been recorded but clicking on a picture doesn't do anything.

Maxell -R/W Works in all devices. Downside is that these disks require a 30 minute format to be carried out per disk. Well at least they work.

I would like to try the Taiyo whatever their names are but looks like these are only available via mail order.
