I've burned about 100 of these without one error, either in the write process on my NEC-1300A, nor in playback on my computer or in my cheapo Toshiba dvd player. I use fast forward and rewind a lot, as I'm an impatient movie watcher, so these have gone through some hard work.

I had some problems with Memorex media, but then I read the reviews on videohelp.com. Hundreds of customer reviews are listed there, and you can match your exact burner to exact media for reviews of success and conpatibility. Ritek (or Ridata) G04's like these routinely get the highest ratings. They are in a class above any blank media you are likely to buy off a shelf in an electonics superstore.

After trying numerous brands of DVD-Rs, I found the perfect one for my system (Lite-On DVD recorder), and it's THIS! It's a great quality DVD-R, and works smoothly. No errors so far, and I'm almost finished with my 2nd spindle. And the price - you just can't beat it! Just 56 cents per disc! [Note: As of this writing, it's cheaper to buy 2 50-pack spindles than 1 100-pack spindle.]

I found videohelp.com to be helpful. (No, they're not paying me to advertise them.) It tells you what blank media is best for your specific recorder. See if Ridata is also best for your system!

I have been using Ridata DVD Media for some time now and I recommend this to every one, whose DVD burner supports Ridata/Ritek DVD media. I have used DVD+R/RW and DVD-R formats and they all worked flawlessly on my PC and DVD player. I must say that I have become big fan of Ridata media.

I burn my TIVO (VHS) output to these DVD's using a SANSUI 4005 (Sears) and I have yet to make a coaster. Now at 50 cents each I can burn any TV program without worrying about the cost.

After purchasing this same media in a 25 pack, I had to jump on the 50 pack.
Same great quality as the 25 pack of 4x, G04 Ritek media burns flawlessly at 4x & plays back in any of my dvd drives or players.
The 25 pack discs have a clear disc center while the 50 pack of discs have an opaque center of the disc. Not that it makes any difference, just thought I'd pass that along.
Next step.... a 100 pack!

These DVDs burned perfectly at 4X on a Plextor 8X burner.

RiData is some of the cheapest highest quality DVDR media you can buy. It has lines for those of you who prefer lines for writing. Other than that the quality of the media is world renowned. Ritek is known for quality media. These discs burn and read perfectly on all players and burners I have tried. They burn fine at the 4x stated speed unlike what others have stated. This is the perfect blank DVD media. Don't hestitate, buy it.

burns as advertised on 4x and plays well on dvd players.

My previous batch of 50 Ritek discs (silvertop, no printing anywhere) burn perfectly at 4x. So I jump in and bought 50 Ritek again. This time, 3 out of 4 will only burn at 2x. Software automatically reduced burning speed to 2x. I guess it is for good reason. Since there are other better discs for a few dollar more, I won't buy Ritek again in the near future.

I bought these thinking I was getting a good deal, and maybe 2 out of 5 would work, the others would get a recording error. I don't have any problems with any other brand. I won't by this brand ever again!!
