the current firmware in the superdrives (A/103 and A/104) checks the dye first, decide if it's 2x rated media, and then burn...There's a very remote possibility that someone will make a firmware hack to get around this, but don't count on it.
I've had experiences with the type of media you mentioned from supermediastore or what not, it's pretty reliable. All my coasters came from OS 9 crashing for whatever reason
evangellydonut, my friend has a DVR-A04 on his PC and he has tried burning 1x DVD-Rs from disksdirect.com at 2x and burnt nothing from coasters. If it's a firmware issue, some apps have apparently gotten around it.

I've used Sony, TDK and Apple media so far. Apple media is the cheapest from a major brand name.
Moving to the Genius Bar for purchasing advice...
