For the last 20 months I have used Ridata +R 4x and/or 8x dvds with TREMENDOUS sucess. However, the most recent batch of 100 4x that I purchased has given me some problems. With this last batch I am having to burn smaller ISO's to stay a little further from the edge of the disk. It took me 10 or so "coasters" to figure out that this was my problem. As long as I burn smaller than 4300 Mb I'm fine. With previous batches of the same brand of disk I could burn closer to the edge with no problem. If any one has noticed a similar problem I'd appreciate hearing so...maybe it's time I switched to a different brand of media. Thanks in advance for any comments!
my Ridata Ritek discs (500+) were actually the DVD-R format, so, not exactly comparing apples to apples here...but, they were purchased over 2 years ago and i've had GREAT success with them...they still playback just fine today...and i scanned some disc quality checks in a diff. thread...too lazy to find it...
they have held up over the test of time...while they're not as good as my Taiyo Yudens, they're still very decent...
i have used VERY LITTLE of Ritek's DVD+R format, only because i have found my greatest success with Taiyo Yuden's 8x DVD+R media with the ID coding of YUDEN000T02, that's the only reason why i don't personally use the Ritek DVD+R format and am unfamiliar with it...
but, many users have had great success with Ritek's DVD+R media...here is a small taste of it in this thread :
Taiyo Yuden 4x dvd-r TYGO1/ 8x dvd-r TYGO2/ 8x dvd+r YUDEN000T02/ 16x dvd+r YUDEN000T03
Verbatim 8x dvd+r MCC003
Verbatim dvd+r DL (MKM001)= flawless no compression backups
