i have yet to make a dvd back ups on the memorex cause i always get errors. I have made many dvd back ups with the tevion so in my opinion tevion is better. but is it my recorder that cant burn the memorex cause it seems like 16x would be better.

while i admit i never used the RitekF1 before, i CAN say i HAVE used the Optodisc ones you have there and they SUCK~! :)

optodisc is NOT a good manufacturer, probably on the same level as CMC MAG if you want a "generalization" of the whole thing...or even worse...

but as i have said, i never tried the RitekF1 before so i don't know if they are "good" per say, but i can safely say that if the Riteks are even 1/2 decent, they'll be a LOT better than the optodiscs~

docTY~

edit: what is ur burner's model number and manufacturer? i have a feeling it's just your firmware that is not up to date...hence the probs. you have burning onto 16x rated discs~ :)

I got a Memorex (Ritek F-1) 16x 50 pack last Christmas. Burned them all at 8x with my Plextor 716-A (1.09 firmware) & didn't have a single coaster.

While I'll never buy Memorex madia Ritek F-1 seems to be ok in my book...

Just watch out on those Memorex discs. I've seen spindles with media from different manufacturers - CMC Mag. With Memorex you never know what you are going to get.
