What 16x DVD-R media is good?


Ritek RiMedia? I ordered a 50-pack of it because it was cheap...I always thought Ritek was the way to go. True? How'd I do? Any other brand suggestions? Verbaitm is frigging EXPENSIVE!

Too bad I found out about Ritek after I bought a 200 pack of Princos "No Returns...Satisfaction Gaurenteed" That crap won't go above 22x in a 52x Plextor CDRW

It all depends on the media code, Ritek usually have a G05 media which is considered a good and for the $.
Here is a link to a guide on blank VD media.

Some companies I like and have used in the past without problems have been memorex, TDK, Verbatim, Imation and Staples brand.

I also tend to buy DVD+R discs as i find them to be much more compatable with the wide array of DVD players i play my media in. Home, school and work,

Ditto on what he said. Ritek/Ridata etc etc. either G05 (excellent) or there G03(okay) excellent prices, cheaper than retail and meritline is offering free shipping right now.
