After burning a Princo disc, which used to be mentioned on your online media support list, I can read the data written on the disc when using it in other drives. What is wrong ?

Your drive uses the so-called MID code (manufacturing ID) of each media to determine which writing parameters to use in order to make a successful burn. We have found, however, that there are Princo media on the market which have identical MID codes but different dyes. Different dyes require different writing parameters. However, the drive is not able to distinguish between the different dye types due to the fact that both type of media use the same MID code. It is therefore not possible to know for certain whether the Princo media you have bought will be compatible to your drive. In order to prevent problems, we therefore don’t suggest using Princo media.
