Here's a little thing I like to call... NOT as good as you thought it would be.. I've gotta figure out why it did what it did or I'll go crazy.. watching the DVD it stopped briefly a few times and even pixelated a time or two as well!!! It may be the media as I have NO luck with it.. I'm out now so no big deal I guess... hmmmmmm

LOL! Sounds like me a few years ago, when I was speaking of Imation and Phillips. Worst discs i've ever laid eyes on. I think I still have a few movies burned on them...I'll scan a few when I wake up. What really sucks was they verified fine, and scanned ok, but they stuttered like crazy when played! Much like your scan there appears within reason, however playability is not!
I started buying Verbs shortly after those problems :D And then a little while later, I heard of TY :D

I know all about the Verbie and TY stuff as you prolly know but some of the guys here SWEAR by the RICOHJPN discs and I guess they get great stuff... I DON'T and never have really... I'm not a fan of Ritek either. lol. I liked the DVD+R 8X discs they had but that was long ago. ;)

I haven't bought blank discs in a very long time as i'm still trying to use up the last lot i bought but RICOHJPNR03 are very good discs indeed. Must have used a few thousand of them by now, never a fault with them. No idea how they scan as i don't scan, i just know they always playback.
Hopefully that was just a bad burn there GM.

I agree with creaky, I've had great luck with the R03s, however they were Ritek branded. I've not had good success with the Office Depot products. Office Depot is notorious for buying/having made some of the cheapest stuff they can get as their house brand. Remember the MID is pretty much the dye formulation, it has nothing to do with with the quality standards considered acceptable for a customer.
BTW, I think Ritek now owns the RICOHJPN dye formulations.

This is why I purchased them. I've had ok luck with the OD CD-R's but I'm not getting their DVD's again. lol. I don't think they sell them anyway. ;)
Sometimes you get what you pay for and sometimes you don't.. well I don't feel like I got my monies worth this time. ;)
I had some MEMOREX R03's at one time that were ok IIRC. ;) So maybe there is some redeeming quality for the RICOHJPN line of discs. :P

Here's a scan of a triple simultaneous burn on one of those Office Depot Riket F-16 +R booktyped rascals. Actually not such a bad scan. Burner was a usb external about 3-4 years old. Other two burners going 20A1S(L_O) and 7240S(NEC-Opt).

Here's one of the Imation discs. Not at all what I expected! I believe this one played good :D The imations were not quite as bad as the phillips. The Phillips discs were like 3/5 Bad! And burned at their slowest 2.4X speed. Which was also there rated speed!!!
Pretty sure 4-6X was the burn speed on these babies, though they're rated for 16, I NEVER burned them at that.

Here's a Phillips 2.4X disc. I believe this is one of the few that played properly. I bought the batch because it was 8$ for 50. At the time, that was a phenomenal bargain. However, I don't think so now LOL!

The 7241S works just the same in my other tower. And my other burners act like they always do...the Yuden T02 scans speak for themselves :) I've just been unlucky with my Verbatims as of late. I have some TYG02 discs that im gonna play with here soon. AFTER a reformat!

Oman7,
I have to agree with you on my last 100 Verbs. The quality has been going down. I found physical flaws in about 25 of them! Some recorded all right, and about 2/3 didn't! I may go back to Ridata as they've solved the F-16s problems and people I know are getting very good scans with them!

I haven't seen any physical flaws thanfully, but the burn quality is definitely lacking from what im used to! I sure hope that this is simply a hiccup in their quality control. The very name Verbatim means an exact copy, or Perfection (Perhaps a stretch). In a sense, they should be trying for AT LEAST equality to Taiyo Yuden! Im probably over reacting here LOL!
I wonder if this is the next Lite-on Freak. Freak of course being a GOOD thing LOL! I sure wouldn't mind my first Blu-Ray Rom/burner being comparable to the LH-20A1H/S. Sure is spendy though. I'd probably buy it right now if it were only $150. Perhaps black friday... :)

Oman7 didn't you ask about a blu-ray reader/burner?? ;)
here's my suggestion. ;)
LG WH08LS20K
LG builds brilliant burners but they don't scan or any of that... BURNING is there soul objective, even tho they do read well too. ;)

Yes, I asked LOL! Im pretty patient. And if it was overlooked, or simply no one knew, no big deal. I won't be buying one til black friday ;) Thanks for the suggestion. I've been eyeing that LG as well :) While I would like a lite-on, it would not bother me to buy an LG first. I get the feeling that some of the first generation BD burners/Readers are gonna be real die hards! :D

Prolly true. ;)
I didn't ask if you were gonna burn Blu-Ray or not. ;) If you're just gonna read it and convert it to DVD format then a Liteon reader (combo Blu-Ray drive) will do nicely. :)
