My G4 Digital Audio tower has the (ancient) Pioneer 103 DVD drive.
Which media works on this model? I see there are so many different choices but don't know what works for this spcific DVD drive.

Thanks in advance.

Any dvd-r media should work well. I think the 103 toped out at 2x write, so you don't really need anything faster than that ... although everythings going to be 4x or 8x rated by now.

I'm particulary fond of Ritek G04 media. You can find it online at many stores, such as shop4tech.com ... sometimes you can find it under the FujiFilm brand in retail stores, but it could also be some other brand. Fuji sometimes relabels Ritek, so there's a chance a spindle of FujiFilm could be Ritek ... or it could be some other company.

I've had no problems with my Ritek disks in my pioneer 103 in my MDD. Meritline.com has good prices by the way.

I'm not sure of about the G04 (the Ritek 4x DVD-R media), but I've read of some people ordering Ritek G05 (their 8x media) from meritline and getting counterfit stuff made by another company.
