Yes same here. The white-top printable blanks have burned less then perfect on my burner. And the playback of such burned media has been problematic in some cases. While, I was a supporter of Ritec G04 in the past. I can not claim so now.

Hi guys,
I wish I had seen these posts before I had bought my latest batch of discs. I have previously read many times how wonderful the Ritek G04 disc are, I was using the Princo branded disc and believe me or not I had 1 bad burn in 100. I thought after reading the rave reviews that I should try the Ritek G04's, bad mistake, I have backed up 2 DVD movies and so far I have a 50% fail rate. The only way I could get a disc to work on any DVD player was to burn at 2x, the Princo brand always burn at 4x.
Well the $40.00 for 50 discs will probably work out at $40.00 for 25. I must remember if it aint broke don't muck with it.
I have identified the diskd in DVD Identifier and it states that they are Ritek G04.
Any ideas, (firmware up to date, latest Nero 6.6.0.10)
Thanks

Eagles69,
Mate, it not the money it's the inconvenience of having to burn the movie over and over a gain and burn at 2x. I laugh when I see the new DVD burners come out and are capable of burning at 16x, what the sniff, if you could buy the discs, imagine the unrelability if the suckers. I shiver!!
I digress, Ritek "never again".

Taiyo Yuden 8x +r disks are compatable at 16x with my nec3500. I've burned almost 50 so far at that speed, even burned a few PS2 games, and they have all played flawlessly. Now of course, they don't ever get up to 16x, since they finish in about 4 minutes they don't have the time to get much past 14x :P
My point is, you can't really say you're using quality media unless you're using Taiyo Yuden brand.

I had bad luck with the G04's with the white matte finish tops. Those were Ridata. Now I use regular G04's (not Ridata) with the silver tops. They work great for me. I can burn anywhere from 1x to 4x.

been using ritek 04 & 05 discs (DVD-r), i have had a few coasters, but not many.Most of the problems have been burn errors, but halving the burn speed to what is quoted as the max burn speed of the discs and not using your Pc at all when burning files, solves the burn error problems.(All files are burned using Nero 6)
