Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description

Designed for personal or professional use, Ridata's DVD-RW discs are made with high-quality organic dye recording layer materials, offer excellent compatibility with a wide range of players and burners, and support the CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media) copy protection system. Each disc holds up to 4.7 GB of data--which can store up to 120 minutes of high-quality video, or your collection of high-resolution photos or digital audio files.
What is DVD-R/RW?
DVD-R (which is pronounced "dash R" not "minus R") uses organic dye technology, like CD-R, and is compatible with most DVD drives and players. DVD-RW (formerly DVD-R/W and also briefly known as DVD-ER) is a phase-change erasable format. Developed by Pioneer based on DVD-R, using similar track pitch, mark length, and rotation control, DVD-RW is playable in many DVD drives and players. Capacity is 4.7 billion bytes. DVD-RW discs can be rewritten about 1,000 times. Many companies now produce DVD-RW drives, all of which write CD-R/RW. Most DVD-RAM drives also write DVD-R discs, while some also write DVD-RW discs. Some newer drives write both DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW formats.

Really not for video,
By Athair (Platte City, MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ridata DVD-RW 4x 25-pack Spindle (Electronics)
Run this disk through "DVD Identifier" and it turns out this is a "restricted" disk, meaning it is intended for data only. What you want is "General Purpose" and this is not it. That probably explains a lot of the trouble people are having. Nowhere is this fact made clear for people who want to use it in DVD recorders, not computers. My Toshiba D-R2 insists this disk is "write protected".

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Ridata DVD-RW 4x 25-pack Spindle (Electronics)
(...)Ridata, like many other premium disks is not everything it used to be (neither are Maxells and prodisc!), but these disks are relativly high-mid quality and a steal at these prices. 90% of burners made in last three years and ALL burners made in the last 18 months will have NO problems and anything older than that should have updated firmware anyway to best use with any blank media (it isn't like it takes more than 5 minutes to update firmware).

Doesn't work for Data or Video,
By Virtual Void "DVD junkie" (Overland Park, KS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ridata DVD-RW 4x 25-pack Spindle (Electronics)
I have 2 DVD writers BTC 1008 (8x DVD+-R/RW) and Maddog 4x (DVD-R/RW).These discs were recognized only in the BTC drive, as : Media Information Region information N/A not a DVD-VIDEO Media code/Manufacturer ID RITEKW04 Format Capacity Blank Disc Free Blocks 411107328 Free Capacity 4.38GB(4.71GB) Book Type DVD-RW Media Type DVD-RW Manufacturer Rated Speed 4.0x 5540KBps Available Write Descriptor CLV 2.0x 2770KBps Write Strategy Speed 2.0x 2770KBps Data area starting sector 30000h Linear Density 0.267um/bit Track Density 0.74um/track Number of Layers 1 Complete Media Code 00000000 00 6C 00 00 01 02 D6 FD 9E D8 31 00 02 00 00 00 .l........1..... 00000010 00 00 00 00 03 52 49 54 45 4B 57 00 04 30 34 00 .....RITEKW..04. 00000020 00 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 06 15 0C 05 ................ However they failed both during DVD-Video (16%) or Data burn (100%), I have the latest firmware on my writers and the BTC's website says that DVD1008 supports RITEKW04, I had been using RiData DVD+RW discs and was very happy with their performace. I am not sure if these failures are due to High speed incompatibility or just bad discs, if I am not able to fix it in 1-2 days I am going to return these discs, not sure what amazon's return policy is for opened media.
