question: my uj-820s used to read/burn also on Princo media, but suddenly it stopped doing this. the toshiba lab i took it into told me that it burns other (better quality) media, and therefore there's nothing wrong with the drive.

has anyone else had a problem like this? is it normal for a drive to stop reading a kind of media it used to read?
Yes, I have the same prob. My matshita uj820s drive used to burn datastream dvd-r but then stopped. I took a closer look at the package and found that they had changed the speeds from 1x-8x to 4x-12x. Could this be the cause? Of course i found this out after i bout a 50 pack of em.
