I keep hearing that Ridata G-04 is top notch media to be using. I have a liteon sohw 832s (my second) and i am almost finished backing up my small collection of dvd's on the G-04's with it. I can faithfully say that 95% of the back ups freeze and or pixelate. I took the drive back , explained the problem, they exchanged it and will i was there picked up a new 80gig HD and additional 512 stick of ram. I installed the gear updated the firmware for the drive,...and guess what still got the issue. so i tested further by changing out my stand alone dvd player for another,.....more cash down the crapper.
Can anybody shed some light on what the problem might be?.. i have about 12 disc's left of riteks on the spindle. i have used dvd identifier and they are the real deal.
help me keep my sanity and my hair.......

What programs are you using to encode and burn?
Try these method's
Method's
1. burn at a slower speed
2. make sure your original is clean
3. make sure no other program's are running in the background
4. Leave your computer alone while encoding and burning

this happend when I added a new hard drive. The reason my movies failed at first was that I was trying to send my movie files to my new harddrive without a file folder to go to. Is this what your trying to do? or try sending it back to your c:/ drive
Don't know if that will help but let me see what I can digg up.
Do you geta error log?
Oh, my riteks are like yours except I don't get coasters.
Ill be right back.

Do you have you virus scan turned off because I know that can cause these problems if you have it on.

thanks to everyone who has given their two bits so far to help me with this problem.
This is where im sitting so far; I remember when i bought the liteon drive they gave me 2 free blank media, 1 "liteon" DVD-R, and 1 "Taiyo yuden DVD+R". I put the "liteon" disc into dvd identifier and it turns out to be a RITEK G-04 !!! So so i burnt a backed up img file @ 4x and the disc turned out flawless! So i am back to thinking i got a real crappy spindle of discs.
Im gonna try turning off my antivirus and burn the same file again with the dodgy G-04's.
keep ya posted

I have the same problem w/ some of my g04's. Lite-on's actually prefer dvd+r media. Something about them useing a running OPC to adjust for wobble on dvd-r media. I have switched to ricohjpn media and have had no problems. I'm also useing a bitsetting tool to booktype the media to dvd-rom. I can even copy the g04's, that were freezing on my standalone player, to a ricohjpn, useing nero copy disc, and they will play perfect. You might give this a try. I'm by no means a pro but I'm haveing very good success w/ the ricoh's. I think the ritek g04's quality is starting to vary from batch to batch. My first 25 pk all burned flawlessly but my next 50 pk has been hit and miss.

thx Mort,
i am gonna try the taiyo DVD+R that i have and look into this "bitsetting tool" you speak of. I have read about it @ cd freaks but still vague on its actual purpose.
What is the compatibility of DVD+R and standalone players?

You should have excellent results w/ the ty media since it is the best you can buy but also one of the most if not the most expensive medias out there. Most new standalone players will play either. Dvd+r media booktyped dvd-rom should be as compatable as dvd-r media but without any altercations most folk will tell you that dvd-r is more compatable. Either way always stay with a quality grade media for vidio reproduction. Here is a good guide. http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm Here is an article that will help explain bitsetting. http://www.cdfreaks.com/article/150
