Hey guys,
I have a serious problem that I have run into which is driving me up the wall trying to figure out. Here is the situation, I record video onto RiData DVD-r's and after I finalize the DVD everything is fine. I can play them on my Sony DVD player, I can play them on my JVC DVD recorder, as well as my other JVC DVD recorder. Problem occurs afterwards, lets say 2 months later. I pull the DVD out of the case that I keep them in and put it in my Sony DVD player and it will not play at all? This does not happen to all DVD's, just some as some play and some others don't? I only use RiData 8x DVD-r's which I have been using for a while now. NOW, sometimes I am able to make a copy of the DVD that won't play using my DVD burner and the new copy will play and I will just keep the new copy and throw the old DVD out. Other times I can't even copy the DVD using my DVD burner as the source drive is unreadable? Hope this didn't confuse you, and I hope someone can help me. Seems like my discs are just falling apart with age, and I am not talking years but just months? Are the RiData DVD's not good DVD's? Should I switch to Taiyo Yuden DVD's and do you think this would solve my problem? I am up for anything, as this is really frustrating me.
Thanks,
EC

That is "exactly" the reason why I never want to waste a single penny on them CMC MAG and any cheap or unknown media.
Go here http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/262544 for more information on high quality media. High quality media are: A) Taiyo Yuden B) Verbatim C) Maxell (made in japan).
*NOTE: both 8X FUJI DVD+R and 8X SONY DVD+R (made in japan) is also genuine Yuden media (more likely 99% to be TY).

Ritek ridat's (branded) are usually ok for budget media but not in the same ballpark as verbatums and taiyo yudens as far as I'm concerned. I tried some G04's and had nothing but problems. I then tried some ridata +r ricohjpn's and r03's booktyped dvd-rom and they were much better but still occasional freezing problem. I now use only verbatum MCC003's booktyped dvd-rom and never have any problems whatsoever. Stick on labels can also cause the problems you are having.

I am not using any DVD labels to answer that question. I guess I will try a better media, I thought the RiData was a good media already but I could be wrong. Where can I get some Taiyo Yuden DVD-r's in Canada? I went to one website but they only ship to the USA?

Not sure about Canadian online shops. Open a thread in the media forum and title it "looking for verbatums or TY's in Canada". BTW sony and fuji made in japan should be TY's. Make sure it says made in japan on the label.
