Why does my retailer promise me that he sells me multispeed DVD-R's while he always sells me single speeds??

This is actually the third 'under 5 euro-brand" he sells me that my pioneer a103 recognises as 1 speed. Toast leaves the other two speeds (2x and 4x) grey. I tried "test speed" more than once on all different types..
grrrrrrr

How many speed are the original Apple 5-pack DVD-R's? They should be original pioneer DVD-R's which are known to me as 2-speeds. (these are expensive to me, being 10 euro's)

Since getting my imac I have written about 50 DVD's and all of them wrote at single speed they where not apple branded ones (princo i think) you can get double speed rated ones now but again these cost about �4.50 which is double the cost of the simgle speed ones at �1.99. At the end of the day though you are writing a 4.7gig disk in about 50 mins which when compared to cd writing is very quick. FYI the company I get DVDR's from is Blank Disk Shop a very good company and quick to deliver. this probably does not help but thought you may want to have the option of a different supplier.
