I just received my Ritek/ RiData 4x DVD-R from Rima dot com. I was told that these were the G04's. The ? is that it took an hour to burn a movie. When I started the process, using RecordNow Max the 5 second count down to begin burning indicated that it was at 4X. 45 mins later when I returned the process was still going. It just finished at an hour. Is there a way to manually set the burn speed, or does the program read the DVD-R and burn at the appropriate speed? I have already upgraded the firmware for my Sony. Is this a bad batch of DVD-R's? Tthe disk is # H4-6L19307067478C02. It seems to play ok-haven't checked on stand alone yet. I tested to see if it was a glitch. I watched the meter on RecordNow Max as the 5 second countdown started. After the process was 5% in, at 14 mins remaining, it then switched and it read that there was 58 mins remaining. In other words, it seems like the burn speed went from 4X to 1X. Why is that? I know it's going to be a pain in the... contacting Rima and shipping back the remaining DVD-R's. Plus the shipping cost. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I tried to isolate the problem. I copied another movie and I used my last TDK 2X DVD-R. The movie was done in 30 mins-no switching of burn speeds or anything. Am I to assume that the Ridek G04?s that I have are the problem?

DMA is enabled. I upgraded the Recordnow Max 4.5 to the PX Engine 408. The Riteks start at 4X and then go to 1X. Should I manually change the speed from Max to 4X? I can't keep testing because I probobly will send these back-can't expect a refund if I only send 1/2 the batch I order-HELP!!!!_

I have exactly the same problem - RiData branded disks (from a 50 cake) and Sony DRU510A with the latest firmware - 1.0C.

1 hour per disk every time. I assumed that I had been ripped off and they were G03 or something.

Any help much appreciated as I have about 45 of the buggers to go and I'll be here forever at this rate.

Serial no H4-6L19306026970B17.

Have you had a faster burn speed with another Brand? I used the TDK's and they burned at 2X, No problem. My Sony is the DW-U12A, But I was informed that this is the Sony pre-installed computer version of the DRU510A. If you get an answer, please share the knowledge.

I plan on contacting RunTechMedia, they advertise 50- 4X Riteks for $67.50. Don't know if this includes shipping, but seems like a good price. So, you have seen 4x speeds on your burner. I've only been able to hit 2X with the 2X TDK's. Where did you get your batch from? I'm hoping they will have a batch of 10 that i can make test runs with before going through return hassles.

Bought in Liverpool in the UK at a computer fair.

So probably not the same batch as yours - yuo are in the States.

I reckon my supplier imported them though.
